A request from a fellow wheeler

[Kevin B]

JRT,

WOW How can you argue with that;

_______________________________________________
--I've read quite a few of the threads on this board , I came on your site because of the trash talking sorrounding the Disco thread and have seen one thing that truly concerns me. I have seen multiple pics on this board showing blatant disregard for our trail systems. The Rubicon thread shows a rig cruising out of the lake near the slabs. There is not a legal trail within a 1000 yards of where that rig is, let alone in the middle of the lake. The White Mtn thread shows rigs parked on top of the bushes. I personally spent my free time working that trail trying to get it back in shape after the Willow Fire. It took 3 years to convince the USFS to reopen it. It could literally take that one pic to close it.

I agree there are alot of people Hurting their own "cause" by behaving this way. From the late 70's I have seen so much of the desert closed to ORV activity and it is only getting worse.


_______________________________________________
I see a tremendous amount of ego-centric attitude, and based on your own comments, that is a perk of being in the 'Upper' class. I've seen people on this board who view it as a good thing that the trails are closed to the public, because it'll weed out those poor unfortuante people who couldn't afford to pay to wheel.

Please don't "lump" us all into that catagory, there are those who have been doing this responsibly, and in other vehicles for a while.

Im not a "rich kid" just a hard worker but the perception I get, being a Hummer owner, from a lot of people is to the contrary.

Thanks for your concern and thanks for your post
