Jim, i think someone else has already said it here, but the problem with IMPACT (which gets mistaken for damage too often) is too many rigs for too few trails....
Closing down a section seasonaly, doing tire restrictions, or doing permits all are bad options. They don't address the problem: too many rigs per mile of trail.
Until the wheeling community can get that point through the FS and DNR's head, we will always be chasing our tails.
Enforce the laws already on the books now, and figure out ways to open up new trails that doesn't take 15 years to do it. The impact footprint will get dispersed, and reducing localized impact (err damage.. blah) which is caused by too many rigs on one trail.
