Every day I see young kids in Jeeps and compact pickups tearing up the local beaches. They think it's cool to do donuts in the sand next to people enjoying the beach, but it just reinforces the stereotype about 4WD drivers.

It looked like Shaggy held his own from the pics anyway, I think the problem is they crapped (period) and started leaving it about 100 yards into it. The article said he buried 5 piles of human effluence- Drty?

Are there any supervisors or rangers out there? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>OK...either you completely misunderstood my post...or you intentionally went off on a wild tangent.

While in Moab and on Poison Spider/Golden Spike trail, one of the trucks had a minor problem and was being worked on. While the truck was blocking the trail, this young driver cut across a small section of undisturbed soil to get to a go-around trail. Now, it wasn't very far but I lit him up on the ettiquette of staying on the trail. Fact is, he didn't know about the cryptobiotic soil fraility and nobody ever educated him about public perception and projecting the right image of wheelers. He definately does now. It is up to us to do that educating or else as Bill Burke writes, it will be the death of our sport.

I am pleased to say that those from this site who recently visited Moab displayed none of the practices mentioned here.
