the answer is, we are still responsible. even if the gov't does take more action than its own rules would allow, would that be any different than its people doing more than their rules would allow...
either way, we are still responsible, and after reading your breifs on the topic then the other's responses make sense now.
what i have gathered is pretty much what everyone else gathered:
2 ways this will go, and at this point we have no control over which way it will go. too late in the game to make an impression...
1 -DNR takes more action over these trails ("these"- i am sure that rex is not the only one) and sets via the media new standards on what it will and will not do, right or wrong as we may see-it. [thought: would it really be that wrong for them to step in?]
2 -They allow us to continue to attemptto police ourselves and do the right thing from this point on. stragglers aside.
either way we can all accept as far as this trail goes, sadly, "another one bites the dust". and yes for that, we are still responsible not DNR
but from here on out do we wash our hands of it or protect the trails we have left? ways i see it, their are many trails up here that have not seen the kind of damage that this trail has seen (i have never seen this trail so i am going by the rough description that others have left). so what happens if this repeats up here?
what do we do? and to what end does our responsibility take us? as alaskans? as arctic offroader's?
luckily i am not a member so you guys deal with it:lol:
