I agree with you Mike 100%. I to will lend a hand with the trail fix, just let me know when this will take place. Just remember "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand". :twisted: :lol:

Thanks for the offer to help guys.

I really wish it was a Jeep thing, then we wouldn't have anything to repair. :cry:

Sometimes people get caught up in the moment, and forget that we are stewards to our sport.

I am willing to bet that it was not just Jeep's that tore up the hill, just like busting balls. :P Common sense and wheeling go hand in hand, especially during the mud season. I personally like wheeling GG and would hate to see it closed to our sport because a few people didn't use common sense.

I am positive there's no chance of that at this point. The skidder travel throughout the area sort of masks our presence, but that's definitely not a reason to skimp on our Tread Lightly! values.

You guys have always been very supportive and right there for the repair work. I appreciate that. I always have a blast running with you too!

Right now, I'm looking at dates in July for the work day. I'd like to give other clubs enough notice so they can plan accordingly.

:cheers:

Just a question; are there any kind of repercussions when a club acts in this manner?
Not for nothing but its bad enough wrecking the joint but to then post it up with your name, the location and your clubs name on youtube is just asinine.

Usually the NEA will put a temp ban on the club for the first problem, and then I believe the second problem they are kicked out. I can't remember exactly. Joe or Ernie, can you correct me on this, please?

Urgh, I couldn't even watch the whole thing.winch on bumper and all.

Saw a couple more videos of that club. Seems most of them just floor it and hope for the best.

Ernie can't stress enough, I'm down for a cleaning. If we still want to make that bridge, id also be down to bringing some tools out. Maybe we can get vtxterra (Dave) to get us a small generator from work.

Wow, just wow. I have no words for the video clip that Mike put up. Like I said before common sense goes a long way.

Have these videos been posted on the NEA forum or brought up to them?

Just waiting for the NEA to get back to me with an exact date.
Looks like they are planning for late July or Early Aug.
I have a Geny for the tools , the NEA club pres is getting some lumber cut for the stream bridge crossing.

Yes, they are very aware and they are not happy about this in the least.
The club has been spoken too about thier actions by the NEA officers.

So far.... the owners are not angry about this,
with the understanding the NEA will repair the damage.

This is why most areas are closed during the Mud season.
the trails are soft and too easy to tear up.
