Unfortunately that is happening up here in Canada too. The locals are
using off road photos from local club members as ammunition to show the
carnage going on.

Unfortunately they are all too right. Some of these local clubs don't
have 1/4 of a brain between them all. They are now going out and
destroying entrance lanes to trails I am reading on local boards. These
lanes have folks living on them and are getting so torn up folks can't
drive home or emergency vehicles can't get there. Guess which trails
are going to be closed next....

I went on one run once with one local group and at the end we stopped at
a mall to get burgers. This mall has paved entrances, but all these
jerkoffs drove across the grass medians leaving bare tire ruts from
spinning across! I couldn't freaking believe it!

Needless to say that was the only run I have ever joined and made up my
mind to host my own runs with folks from the Jeep newsgroups.
