I am a Jeeper and an avid ATVer. I love doing both of them. I hate hearing about the damage that has been done by our groups.
However, there was a Jeep Rally near Philipsburg, Maxville area here in Montana that has hurt our cause. And hurt it to the point that the FS is very close to shutting down this area.
The area is an awesome place for both Jeep's and ATV's. Alot of trails to run on. Great views, clean camping. Not anymore. Whoever put on this Jeep Rally really messed up. They tore up a meadow beyond repair. Left garbage all over. Moved big rocks around.
This is not what we stand for. There are area's in which to do this type of wheeling. Not at this site. Alot of the license plate's were from the Washington area. They came along way just to damage land. It hurt all people who share the area.
I am not asking anybody to tell or rat anybody out. This type of stupid behavior must be stopped. At least if you are going to screw up some land, do it in your own State and not mine.
I am not very happy to see this happen anywhere. We have enough battle's to fight to keep area's open. Let's not give the anti's anymore ammo to use against us.
If you see anyone doing this crap, turn them in and put a stop to it. We must police our own.
