You obviously dont get it. The way "they" prosecute the people doing thea damage is with a closure. Its how its always been, and will always be. Unless your becoming a leo anytime soon?:looser:
Thats because they come out hiking at first, next thing you know they come back through their hiking trails wwith dispersed recreation killing salmon and natural wildlife:fawkdancesmiley:
Ive wheeled memorial up there many times. Too many people at one time was my point. 4th of july and labor day are 2 other holiday weekends, but usually the terrain has dried out, which helps keep damage minimized. Giving up one weekend of wheeling seems worth it to avoid the possible...
