[RC] Folsom lake accident - Ranelle Rubin - shermanTitle: MessageThe ranger I spoke
with said just call and report, don't say anything confrontational to the
users, they won't know to go hide. That's the way to catch them. These guys know they
aren't supposed to be here they are taking advantage of the drought conditions
of the lake. It doesn't have to do with education since they are blatently
disregarding the law. We do have pretty good relationships with other users of
the trails around here, IMO. We work together to build and maintain trails and
probably 99.9% of users are courteous and respectful. Even those bike riders
that Ranelle ran into, even tho they were disregarding the law, they do their
riding of those trails at night because they think no horses will be there to
get scared. It is too bad that they are so driven to ride on trails where they
don't belong as they have similar legal ones that horses don't go on and some
that are shared, but they actually choose night riding to avoid the horse
traffic.
Now I'm off to ride
one of those shared trails right now. We know to look out for other uses
and yell loud if the bikers are watching the ground below them instead of
what is approaching ahead of them (:>)
