Re: [RC] Wilderness - Merryben

I am not sure who is on what side cause I got into this late.  However, I have 
always been anti Sierra Club.  Their approach is to get rid of everybody.  I 
have always considered them a little militant.  The example that always comes 
to mind is that if you have a perfect little valley with a stream that the 
animals come to and a tree falls up above and blocks that stream and dries it 
up, you can't take a chain saw in and fix it.  That seems ridiculous to me.  
This natural stuff can get way out of hand.......

I have direct access to three parks from my place and two of them allow 
bicycles.  I have not really had a big problem with them.  Once in a while they 
seem unfriendly but the one time I met one on an uphill trail and he came over 
the top right in my horse's face, who promptly dumped me, he was totally 
concerned and it was not his fault.

I have not had much if any encounters with ATV's or motorcycle cause they just 
are not there.  

Last year when we were doing the Quicksilver Ride at Coe Park there was a guy 
on a bicycle with 10 lbs of carrots for the horses.
