Yeah, but I can see why someone would do it. I've got some pristine property up in the mountains. In the past, people would steal the woodpile from time to time, and the cabin up the road was totally looted. But in general, it wasn't too bad. There were some pretty hefty rocks in the road, and the scrambling needed to get there made it remote to most people. (Prime reason I bought my VX, actually...)Originally Posted by nfpgasmask
Lately, the fences and gates are getting locked, up and down the valley -- to keep the ATV riders out. Although the hikers, bikers, and jeepers are pretty good people in general, the ATV riders seem to have no qualms with leaving the road and tearing up the land.
I've got a security cam shot of some kids driving right up to the NO TREASPASSING sign, a hundred yards from the road.
I've considered traps, but discarded them as a totally stupid idea. I would really love to inconvenience someone with no respect for the outdoors, but I don't think it would do to injure anyone -- especially someone like a hiker.
So, I just sit around and rant. "Ge'off my prop-er-tie!!"
