[QUOTE="japerry, post: 1544876, member: 17178"] I'm still trying to figure out how to put in words exactly my issues with the PNW4WDA and/or most of its member clubs, as a previous member. Unfortunately Jim, there are no clubs I've found yet in the PNW that would sanction or support the ideas I proposed my blog. Actually, quite the contrary. Down here in the south, Pistons Wild is acting as trail police through forest watch. While its great to be going after dumpers and illegal shooting, they also go after the user-built trails and helped DNR close the trails before new ones were open. [B]Yacolt was never officially closed to 4x4 use, unlike Reiter.[/B] But DNR didn't have to! Because Piston's Wild is so gung-ho to be do-gooders, they closed the forest for them! PW voiced their disgust about how the DNR police aren't strict enough on 4x4 use, its like they're throwing the rest of the community under the bus. And I've heard this story countless times on the forums and in person in other areas, about how the 'user built trails' are the 10% of bad apples. No they aren't. the 10% are people going through wetlands, sensitive areas, and behind closed gates. The 10% are people shutting down the forest voluntarily. I'd [I][B]love[/B][/I] to see the PNW accepting user-built trails, much like Evergreen Mtn bike alliance did for mtn bike trails. Until then, I can't support them. PS -- If you liked what I wrote, please tell [email]trailspoicy@dnr.wa.gov[/email]. They do react to user input, seriously! [/QUOTE]
