I wish I could make it over there. What needs to happen is a few level-headed wheelers need to tag along with this group to provide a counter-point. If folks only hear or see one side they go away with very specific ideas.

theAuthority · Nov 21, 2009

yah but how many of us can hike 6-8 miles and gain 1200 ft?

No offense but most of my past off-road groups needed 'rigs' to take them up a mountain

:haha:

You can counter point all you want when the place really does look like a **** hole. You're not going to change the minds of people like this. The best thing we could do as a group is stop tearing it up and fix what's wrong now.....
Or just not care about a hikers opinion.

That's like 4 hours of hiking. Pretty pathetic if that's much to handle.

I think this is the same group that was taking pictures of us on BYS. :looser:

It would be funny if dozens of wheelers showed up and outnumbered the Sierra clubbers. :haha:

Binder · Nov 21, 2009

Claymore!....Just saying.

Cause its true.

ORV use tears **** up..... now folks just need to get over it. Then realize that one good "natural" mudslide does the same damn thing ten fold (look at Rainer's "protected" forest this year as an example... and all the poor little fishes.

Compared to plowing and paving for a Walmart or REI, we really aren't all that bad :awesomework:
