I guess the problem I have, it seems that people who don't like off-roading, want to keep it all for them selves and don't want to let the off-roaders have any.
I saw a case were a trail was opened to off-roading only, people raised a stink that it should be multi-use for all the people, so a year and a half later, they change it to multi-use. Then a few years later, I saw the same multi-use trail closed to off-roading , because the people who didn't like it, raised a stink. When are the non off-roaders going to share? That is the question that I have heard may times being asked, and that is why many off-roaders are so angry. I agree, when I'm camping, I don't want to hear someones boomboxes and see trash from others, when they are a mile from me, but, at the same time, I believe that they should be able to get there, by any means they want as long as it is low impact.
