Positive Results made possible with ATV usage
How many of us have been watching the news lately and said a prayer that they find that lost Cub Scout in Utah this week. Well our prayers were answered on Tuesday... The boy was found.. but not in an area where they had expected to find him. Without the use of ATV's in the search party, they would probably still be searching.
That is good news and a positive use of ATV's that should be shared with the world... Sadly, the media made no mention of this. All the enviro's walking around in the bush couldn't find him... but it took an ATV rider expanding on the search area that made enough noise to get the boy's attention and get him to flag the rider down.
I guess all this makes me wonder, why is it that nobody wants ATV's in their back yard until they need them to help search for their missing child... Then they can't get enough of us out there looking.... it is a ponderous question...

Actually according to news reports (CNN) the boy kept hiding from anyone on an ATV or horseback as he was taught to not talk to strangers. The Salt Lake Tribune article linked to in the other thread was the only report I ever saw that mentioned that the rescuer was on an ATV.

Yeah, and took pictures of the environmental damage to use against him in court... Either that or they may have asked him for his UTAH registration sticker...

I think draggin was being a bit faceitious in his comment. That the envirowackos would look for anything they could to offset the image of doing something good on an ATV.

Exactly my point Rescue Diver... We need more positive news coverage like this. Kudos to the guy that found him. The issue with me is the news coverage could have been better... too often the media is bashing us, and calling ATV's dangerous killers etc.... The point is that kid may not have survived if it were not for the ATV being there.
I did notice they started their piece locally with 3 riders heading out on the trail searching WITHOUT helmets. Hmmm...
