Just a thought about the issue. Seems we are putting the cart before the horse. OHVs are being treated as a social issue with resources implications. Fact is OHV's are a resource issue with social implications. Money and fun are temporary. The resources are permanent. The priority needs to be shifted from temporary to permanent.
We seem to forget that one OHV one time is generally not a problem, one OHV ten times is becoming a problem, ten OHV's ten times is a disaster with long-term environmental consequences. Is not our charge to protect the resources?
