Really nice article by a reformed illegal off-roader. What changed this guys mind was when his experience was hampered by loud, obnoxious morons who ruined his elk hunt. It’s funny how some people never see the light until something actually happens to them. This is no different than health care. Healthy, full of energy….who needs universal health care? “I dun got my own, I’m good”. Experience sickness yourself, or from an immediate family member and that view changes REALLY fast.
It all boils down to personal experience. People who lead dynamic, non-sheltered lives have the ability to put themselves in others shoes and show compassion. Even a monkey can do this. It’s sad that some politicians cannot.
I like to snowmobile but I stick to established trails. Enough trails have been cleared in the last 100 years to give people who like bikes, atvs and snowmobiles plenty of places to ride. They need to stay on roads and trails that have been established for that particular use. We need to keep our wilderness areas intact and not allow the creation of new roads.
