What FAR says you can't land "off airport"?

I really don't know, but people have received enforcement actions for
landing at closed fields, without an emergency, accidentally, in my
area. They were usually mistaking the larger, closed field for the
smaller, open field on the other side of a river.

I have a feeling there's off-airport, and "closed" airport.

Perhaps the violations weren't of FAR's?

Were these "closed airports" in your area abandoned, or were they
closed because they were doing repairs or demolitions or something?

There have been airports in my area that have been closed for a few
days while work has been the runway, and other various reasons. I can
see the FAA going after people who land when work like that is being
done for various safety reasons, but Crows Landing is totally
abandoned. Landing there isn't going to effect anyone else's safety.
Every account I've come upon has said the place is pretty much
completely abandoned.

Its like landing in a grass field some place in the middle of nowhere,
just for fun. As far as I'm aware, as long as you're not putting
anyone in danger, and the place is not populated, it's perfectly legal.
