While my boys are taking a nap today I decided to do some more formal research in wheeling, mostly in the PNW4WDA forums. Alot of trail carnage and closures pending. I know we discussed taking a bolder stand on cleanups as a chapter although what to do and how to do it is in question. As I was reading all I could think of was 197/198 up at Evans. I seriously wonder how some of you guys made it through there without more damage than what was recorded. I saw lots of winching up places you guys made it along with new deep tire swallowing holes where the skinny pedal was overused. The ruts Phil spoke of were very real. Again, I have no idea how to begin the repair of a trail especially ones as far out as those. However, I believe something needs to be done by the lower level of users without a political agenda. I know time is tight in the world we're living in but in order to keep our...YOUR jeeps straight and our hobby open perhaps we should REALLY consider doing something productive at a higher level.
I'm certainly not one to make trails easy for everybody. However in a more mature way of looking at it, I think what's happened up there is on the verge of getting out of hand. Hopefully we can do something about this as a group arm in arm with a more experienced group of wheelers with a broader spectrum of trail repair.
I'm certainly not a speaker and a horrible writer, and this isn't my usual type of idiotic post, but I appreciate you guys reading it and I think any kind of information would help us get to where we need to be as a club.
Thanks again,
Paul
