O'Connor Creek Trail

[TJVigilante]

Who mushes in the mud? If it's that bad, the snow cover in the winter should smooth it out considerably. I understand that ruts can cause problems even in the snow and that snowfall in the interior isn't exactly substantial. Therefore, we as a club also have a trail groomer in progress to take along on winter runs to smooth out the trail after we pass. This is an effort to make multi-use trails usable and more pleasant for all user groups, allowing us to have our fun and not ruin it for others

Additionally, and more importantly, we are not primarily an ATV club and do not regularly travel this trail, winter or summer. In fact, I do not even recall a single instance of an AO-sanctioned trail ride in this area.

Finally: 4x4 clubs in the area do not encompass every motorized recreation user in the area, and we cannot police those who are not members. Unfortunately, this puts the organizations such as AO in a bad light when non-affiliated individuals go around tearing up land without regard for others. We as a club practice Tread Lightly! principles and do not make efforts to tear up trails for our own personal gain. I hope you understand this and are not of the mindset that all 4x4 enthusiasts are part of the problem.

Just my $0.02.
