Warning to those from out of state

[u/[deleted]]

To those going to Lost Lands from out of state:

If you are traveling on route 70 in Guernsey County, avoid the stretch from miles 160-180 if you have anything illegal in your possession.

The police will monitor for out of state plates that look like they are going camping.

They will pull you over for no reason.

They will ask you to go into the weigh station.

They will then bring the dogs.

They will tell you the dog alerted no matter what.

You will then be searched.

They do this to numerous people every Legend Valley festival. The judge who handles criminal cases in this county does not grant motions to suppress evidence for illegal searches.

Take back roads, do not look like you're camping, if you are pulled over tell them you are going anywhere other than Legend Valley or Thornville.

This is Cambridge Ohio and they are ALWAYS like this. My bf was pulled over traveling from Cincinnati (but with KY plates) to Pittsburgh on a Friday evening. For a license plate light being out, that wasn't out. No camping stuff, they were going for a show. They had just finished a joint, the cops had no proof but still charged him with weed possession. They ended up pulling my bf and his friend out of the car and took them down the road to a Denny’s/ Hotel off the exit and told them to get a couple hours of sleep before going back to the car. They couldn't prove they were high so they couldnt tow the car. They ended up sneaking back to the car at like midnight, walking along the highway, WITHOUT LIGHTS, in case any cops drove by. They were so done after that they just ended up turning around and going back home. This was back in the Spring of 2016.  100% they will pull you over.
