I'm surprised they aren't more signatures at this point. I told everyone I knew, even non-wheelers.
Here's an interesting article from Washington that sums up the feelings of a lot of off-roaders. I'd like to see bigger fines and even jail time. It's about enforcement, not restrictions. Exerpts:
""....But Kabrich's presence on this damage-surveying
mission was evidence that public land managers like McNamee have a very
powerful ally in their battle against outlaw four-wheelers: other
four-wheelers, the vast majority of whom are law-abiding and are
growing increasingly quick to blow the whistle on their misbehaving
brethren.
In two cases -- one on Bethel Ridge north of
Highway 12, one at Sleepy Park Meadow southeast of Rimrock Lake -- the
club four-wheelers reported the perpetrators to law enforcement,
complete with eyewitness descriptions and license numbers. Those cases
are still being investigated, and charges are likely, say enforcement
officers.
In another, in the Milk Creek trail circuit east of
the Little Naches, other four-wheelers took photographs of the three
mudders -- none of which had license plates -- and posted them on a
club's Internet site with the request, "Anyone know these rigs?" Club
members' response in chasing down the mudders' identities was fast and
furious, with the sort of fervor generally reserved for capturing child
molesters.
Dave Walters, a member of a Tri-Cities four-wheeler
club called the Peak Putters, found a photograph of one of the mudders
-- grinning from the driver's seat with a beer can in his hand --
particularly galling.
"That type of mentality is something I
have a whole big problem with," Walters said. "We want to hang the guy.
I don't care who he knows or who he's friends with, I want him hung."
Walters was just blowing off steam, of
course -- and said so moments later -- but his immediate response was
indicative of the growing enmity of responsible off-roaders toward
mudders. The latter damage not just the backcountry, but the reputation
of the entire four-wheeling community.
"We just don't need it,"
Walters said. "It's like any other group: 95 percent are good,
upstanding people, but the 5 percent get all the press and make the
rest of us look bad...""
