This is where the mentality if people like CHOP SHOP will eventually kill the sport if they don't change.
- I'll wheel where ever I want.
- If someone's wheeling off the trail I will NOT do anything about it.
- If someone's in my way, I'll go off the trail to go around them rather than wait or turn around.
I'm not going to go back and find all the threads over the last 6 months that he said this but this is what he said. You may recall one about him getting into it with guys from the dog pound on the swamp trail at Elbe. Guys were stuck so he admitedly drove up through the trees to get get around and the excuse... other people had already gone that way. We talk with him about going the wrong way on the busy and the answer was, "yeah, we know."
The really sad part, is that he's not alone in thinking this way. That mentality absolutely MUST change. The idea that rules don't apply when you're out in the woods just doesn't cut it. It's the same withing drinking on the trails. For those of you who do garbarge runs, we all know what the majority of what we pick up along the trail are BEER cans! They're not from hikers, or bikers, they're from wheelers. If they're stupid enough and ignorant enough to drink on the trail and toss their cans out the window it's no wonder they're stupid enough and ignorant enough to drive off the trails, not use tree savers and drive like idiots regardless of resource damage.
I know this doesn't apply to everyone but drinking on the trails and stupidity on the trails go hand in hand. I hope the enforcement efforts at Evan's Creek hits hard this year and that they nail a TON of people for drinking and driving on the trails or FS roads. It will literally clean up the filth. We can't separate the cause of the resource damage from the stupidity and ignorance of those who cause it.
PS, I drink just in case you thought I had something against drinking.:beer:
I guess it's the diffrence between drinking and getting drunk and druken wheelers are ass holes. just like to get a head start before getting drunk in camp..lol
Drinking on the trail is an entirely different thread but it has some crossover into this one.Watch out Jason! The web mob with torches will attack such comments as blasphemous actions only tolerrated by those of the underworld...
:haha: :haha: :redneck: :redneck:

You cannot "DEFEND" drinking on the trail any more than you can "DEFEND" drinking on the road, same rules apply. Yes there is a difference between having a drink and being drunk so as long as rules/laws aren't broken, I have no beef. I guess the jury is still out on an open container on the trail in terms of legality but care and control of a motor vehicle while under the influence applies anywhere, public or private land.
I think driving along the trail with a beer in your hand displays a negative image whether it's illegal or not.
Yeah I remember that thread and how heated it was. I do most of my beer drinking out of the Jeep on pee breaks and such. I would drink more while driving but it shakes my beer up too much and I hate flat beer :redneck: . I'm a self proclaimed alcoholic and could never get drunk or even over the legal limit drinking a 6 pack over the course of a day. That comes back at camp when we take the lid off the BV and throw it away.
You crack me up.

Ya--it really is.
People are plowing new trails--and quickly folks are making new routes thru the new trails.--turning into a huge mess.
Dale, any respect I had for YOU or our crusade just went out the window. I havent drank a beer for over 8 years. I am not a drinker at all. if you knew half as much as you think you do you would have a clue. you are so new to this whole sport. you amaze me with some of the **** you spew.uke:
your not talking about the OM, are you?
I didn't see anywhere where Dale said you were drinking........ Some people kinda assumed you might from your actions but apparently yer stupid when sober too..... The part about you was about going off the trail and the mentality of "screw everyone else"

Don't bother with him. He did the same **** in his thread and called two of us out, saying he was wheeling on private property. Funny thing was no one had mentioned anything about that. He never apologized, and he lost all respect I had for him. Funny he goes and does the same thing to some one else two days later.
Have you even ever been to reiter?
