Yes, I am going to do that! It is so GRROOOSSS! There is a place 5
miles from me I used to ride, that is now taken over by ATVs, campers, partying
& they have wrecked it - & dumped trashed cars there too (North behind
Lake Pleasant for those of you in AZ), human excrement all over & toilet
paper. I will send a pic!
Maybe you should take pictures of
the "people poop" on the trail and send that to the local media!

It amazes me everytime I hike on the AT in both NC and

responsible also.
We have worked with the Forest Service for years on
trail maintainance and clean up on our horse (multiuse
trails) at Uwharrie and the JeffersonNational Forest
and have had very little cooperation with local horse
people. The bike riders and ATV riders have done a
tremdous amount of work to ensure that the trails stay
open. A lot of horse people in this area take the
attitude that "I don't ride there so I don't care.".
One thing we have gotten good publicity with is by
sending pictures to the Forest Service of the amount
of trash we have picked up off the trails.
