In michigan they have already shut down most of the state land to atvs. Some is even closed to horses, all you can do is walk it on foot. No bicycles either.

They don't stay on the trails because the penalty for going <u>off</u> of them isn't stiff enough!!!......threaten people with fines/impoundments and the word gets out?.....you will be amazed at how many people suddenly start "getting it".

The sad part being that many of our local clubs and DEFINITELY our national organizations won't push for this......as some of these same people not only fund their non-profit positions.....but they also don't want to be perceived as being "hardasses" or responsible for someone getting their wallet emptied out! (and God forbid that either one of them advertise any kind of partnership with law enforcement to potential members.....they'd never get a good share of them in the door!).

Everybody talks about "uniting" the community.......well, it is no different than the problems we encounter in places like south-central L.A. or some white-trash neighborhood.......you have to take the garbage out FIRST.....<u>then</u> you start to work with whatever and "whoever" <u>is left over.</u>
