An article printed in the
Boston Herald sparked my desire to discuss something. Most of us know what responsible mudding is and yet there any many people out there who ruin this sport for the rest of us by damaging government and private property every day.
According to the article,
Forest Rangers in Maine are going to be on the lookout this spring for people who drive out to the forests every year and destroy the environment and ruin farm roads. They are in contact with landowners who have had problems in the past and I'm guessing the fine will be steep because the cost to repair these roads is extremely expensive.
Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to make a save the environment argument here because that is a totally different topic. I would like to remind people that in order for this sport to continue being as fun as it is, we need to do it responsibly.
Tread Lightly is an organization dedicated to responsible recreation in this department and have a
list of guidelines to follow for how to go four wheeling with minimal impact.
So use your dang brains, and don't ruin it for everybody!
