it's equally annoying to see jeeps, tacomas and other domestic trucks spinning their wheels and basically digging their way up soft hills.

It all comes down to responsibility regardless of where you live or what you drive.

Yes. I don't care what you are driving, it should be on the established, and legal trail. Bill Caid seems to either not realize that his actions are destroying the enviroment and reflecting poorly on all of us, or simply doesn't care. Based on what I have seen and heard about him, I tend to think the latter. I might be wrong...but I doubt it.

I simply hope that at some point he realizes that his current actions are getting access restricted for the OHV community in large. He needs to pay attention to what he is doing, and respect the enviroment.

Make no mistake, Bill is not alone. There are alot of people out there who should have their name right there beside his...but since his name was brought up.....

Has anyone reading this ever communicated with Caid on his irresponsible activities?

I sent an email to Bill during that time; never received a response. I believe a few others did too.
 
It's a shame to see people that have similar interests but total disregard and disrespect for the environment that we all like to enjoy. And then wonder why areas/trails are shut down to motor vehicles.

We should have a trail etiquite thread/section where we can discuss proper and improper trail manners.

Excellent idea, BUT having a section where the items are discussed would be avoided by those that it really needs to reach! :ylsmoke:

:iagree:

We should have one for sure... I dont claim to know it all (although most "tread lightly" ideals are just plain common sense) but I would like to be "in the know" so I'm not "that guy" out there mucking things up...

I know many would benefit from the open discussion of this topic including myself.

Everyone should check this out (if you havent done so yet!) http://www.treadlightly.org/

And, HOLY THREAD HIJACK!!!! :violent-smiley-031:

This idea may not help those that have already developed bad habits but it can help and influence new comers as well as the open minded that have not had any trail etiquite training.

Sorry for continuing the hijack Dave!

So, when is the next trip to baja?

Yeah, can we say "OFF TOPIC" :D

Next Baja trip is for the 1000, Friday to Sunday! Woo Hoo!
 
Dang it! I need to get a 4X4 so I can keep up with everyone. Then maybe I will do most of the driving on the trails....instead of you know who!:violent-smiley-031:

We do have the Conservation and Land Use section of the forum, and I encourage any and all of you to start or participate in discussions about responsible overland travel there. It's always a good thing to keep that sort of thing fresh in our minds and at the forefront of discussions for newcomers to see.

:coffee:

By the way, Robb - awesome trip commentary!! :clapsmile
 
These pics of our campsite were taken with my el cheapo disposable "water proof" camera while I was snorkeling off Puntas Cabras :D
