I think everything could be solved and everyone or close to it be happy is just in the changing of the wording, from restricted to recommended .....
I think you will see that people will be happy cause no one likes rules that are only aimed at one select crowd..... and we will more then likely see that the bigger rigs will not want to be going down the tight trails anyways....as I stated before I can make it, but why .... it is way too much work for me to squeeze my rig through there when I could be attempting some bad a** obstacle..... That is why I wheel is to make the impossible - not ***** foot thru the forest on a Sunday afternoon drive.....
Just to put the shoe on the other foot real quick.....
Say we Take and close Elbe to all SWB rigs that are 86" and under and place pilings and obstacles to keep the SWB's out and only guys with 40" + tires can go, now would that be fair and all you SWB guys would be okay with that ....
Not saying that it is a good idea but you can kinda feel where I'm coming from especially what happened at Evans Creek.......
I can only hope that you realize that it was the "little jeep" guys that built yes built both Evans and Elbe. Why then is it ok to take these same trails away from the very people that gave up countless hours of their own time and many dollars of their own to build them to make them "usable" for rigs that simply wernt built to fit the trails. On the other hand I am all for building new trails for bigger rigs as long as those people that want them are willing to do the work that we did to get what we have (or had).
