[QUOTE="Money Mark, post: 1370351, member: 16397"] I would like to hit on these two points, as they need further explanation. Rock base: In order to better control water flow and to allow the INTENSE USE these trails will see, we can not and will not be driving on (just) dirt....which turns into mud......which is every Eco-Nazi's (I hate that term, but you know what I mean) gripe about every 4x4 trail. I will simplify this idea to a landscaping term......French Drain. We'll be driving over a "French Drain" of sorts, composed of rock from 5/8th to 24" crushed. There will also be many, many water bars to further direct the flow of water [U]off the trail.[/U] Some water bars will be large enough to [B]be[/B] the obstacle, for that small section of trail. All directed water flow will be in short stints, to low areas off the trail, where it can go back into Mother Earth.......un-harmfull and un-harmed. Man-made: We challenge Mother Nature to change/disrupt our trails. The trails will be designed/built with 1000's of hours, from 1000's of users, of use in mind. The trails will be designed/build so folks like Bill Lider will have nothing to "red flag". The trails will be designed/built so unnecessary/excessive maintenance is not needed. The trails will be designed/built so they can last a lifetime. Bold, I know. Realistic, I believe. [/QUOTE]
