When you click on the link it loads some text that ask you to log in infront of the address. Just delete it and you should be ok. You'll need to do that to get to page 2 as well.

The link worked for me.

I like the part where the author says,
"But many of the new vehicles are not street-legal and arrive at the trailhead on trailers. This means they often travel out and back on the Rubicon, doubling environmental impacts and requiring them to veer off-track to bypass other vehicles."

Uhmm...ok if you say so.

Also, I liked...
"Some users even engage in a practice called "stacking," in which vehicles are driven on top of another that has rolled over."

It's like a 4x4 orgy out there!!!

And finally, a funny statement to me...
"Others simply can't access the trail anymore because deep rutting and new boulder obstacles make it too difficult."

I finally got around to reading the article.

I agree that some measures must be taken to ensure it's continued use by us.

If the trail was closed, Georgetown would take a financial hit so they need to be quiet.

Dan Mainwaring needs to shut his mouth too. He'd be singing a completely different tune if they canceled his Jamboree. How many rigs does he run through that trail every year???

The biggest thing that upsets me is how the Friends groups come off looking like the bad guys and if it weren't for them, none of the work would be getting done. Yet, it wasn't mentioned.

:soapbox:

I used to wheel a lot. . .
