[QUOTE="japerry, post: 1368096, member: 17178"] So back to bikes and what Charlie and others have discovered... bikes have impact, and so do we. They also can travel a lot further. But this discussion isn't about the environmental impacts, its about whether unauthorized trail building is ethically wrong. My point about the bikes is this: The people who are at the work parties, the DNR meetings, leading the LEGITIMATE opening of more trail at walker are the same people creating or helping create unauthorized trail. PS. DNR knows my position. I've made it [b]very clear[/b] what I think about trail building. Where I get respect from DNR is by the openness, willing to help at work parties, etc. I'll make another point here: DNR would respect RTW as well if they decided to throw a huge protest when reiter closed, especially if the protest caused political backlash that might have caused someone their jobs. The Skagit Motorcycle club FOUGHT DNR when they called for a seasonal closure. SMC won that battle and DNR now listens very closely to their leadership. DNR is a public entity. This means you have two ways to get respect: Political Power or doing what they say. Groups with political power are the ones who get their agenda through. Which way have we gone to get their respect? [/QUOTE]
