I saw this while recently scanning the rec.backcountry newsgroup. I unfortunately missed the lead in, but this guy sounds like a real nutcase.

Subject: Group Poll

Ok, so I read muskie's post and looked up the Blue Ribbon Coalition on
the web (http://www.sharetrails.org) Lets suppose they got their way and got
ATV, Motorbike, 4WD access to <insert your favorite wilderness area here>
I'll say the Northern Sierra for myself.
How many of you would be willing to at least consider (or support a
group who carried out..) some form of violence to discourage motorized
vehicle usage? By violence, I *don't* mean causing grevious bodily harm or
stringing pianowire across trails. I'm thinking maybe getting together with
some people to construct a few impromptu 'speedbumps' or small ditches on
blind sections of the trail? Strategic placement of a few of those little
metal tire busting thingies during your hike? If yes, be inventive! If no,
explain. [:-)]

Isn't this email considered conspiring to commit a crime? therefore punishable by law?:mad3:

how bout a link to the original forum and the post so I can forward it to Don Amador and BRS and let their lawyers take a look at it.


:usa:

OK Peter you made me work at this one a little to get a link ;) You should find it here on the Google groups access:

http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&threadm=a8eo56%244jg%241%40slb4.atl.mindspring.net&prev=/groups%3Fnum%3D25%26hl%3Den%26group%3Drec.backcoun try%26start%3D0

Hope that works. Other wise you could go to google groups and open the rec.backcountry group and look for the thread Group Poll.

Thanks Doc, the link works and it's sent to BRC and I saved the entire page as well in case it gets pulled....I'll keep you guys posted if I hear anything...
