Agreed, access for all. Unfortunately, 'ALL' includes the few groups that head into our riding areas and trash the place because they feel there are no rules. So, that being said, 'we' the responsible OHV users of our public lands want to send a message that basically 'we' dont want to be punished for the reckless acts of a few knuckle heads.Dragon997 wrote:.
Don’t you hate it when you go to Ghost and the signs say....Pedal bikes and horses, Have all Access.
But as a motorized OHV user you are only granted certain access.
Restrictions…. I say access for all, or Access for none!
It might seem a dangerous precident, however SDR knows there are individuals that can enjoy our back country, on the May Long weekend and NOT trash the area.....go check out the Porkies race site after the May long.....hello media, Ministers or anyone else that is skeptical of this. There are hundreds of riders and campers in that spot for the race on May long.Dragon997 wrote:.
Isn’t that the same message we are saying. We are better than you.
DONT RESTRICT ACESSS! YOU ARE SETTING A DANGEROUS PRECIDENT!!!!!!!
Great enthusiasm Dragon! not so practical IMHO though....yeah I see a world of trouble that we are not prepared or authorized to try and control. Hey I have huge sympathy for SRD on these long weekends.....who want to approach a bunch of drunken knuckle heads and tell em to shut it down or pick up their garbage.....sorry, but I wouldnt feel to safe in that role either.Dragon997 wrote:.If SRD can’t or won’t put up checkpoints, I suggest RMDR and SGC members, initiate it.
I see your point, but I would be willing to limit access for all, in order to weed out the trouble makers. Limit my access for one long weekend so we dont have to spend several regular weekends cleaning things up.Dragon997 wrote:.
But I can’t support taking away privileges we all own as Albertans.
Not sure what the solution is, but one thing for sure, if something doesnt change...we will all get shut out permanently.
