I can only promise one thing, that being the FOTR Trail Patrol will be out in full force that weekend and beyond. We will be armed with camera and pen and will have a ZERO tolerance attitude for violators. I recommend you either find something else to do or be on your BEST behavior. If you do go remember to study and adhere to ALL of the TREAD Lightly principals.

yea i bet so as long as we stay on the trail we will be ok right.....they will be after the ones who go off the trail and try to make there own trail right? if we stay on the trail we should be ok...i hope its not to wet.....

Staying on the trail isn't everything, but its a big thing... When conditions are this wet, treading lightly is just as important as staying on trail.... tearing a hole in the mud on trail, is almost as bad as doing it off trail:(

I think it is good that there will be FOTR patrol along with law enforcement. If people continue to not play by the rules when on the trail it will be closed to everyone. I hope that they give tickets and snatch each and every one of those idiots :flipoff2: that do not "Tread Lightly" and could care less about the trail. They actions of a few affect everyone. If they were to close this trail, you can bet many others will be right behind it.

Drive the trail responsibly PLEASE! :mad3:

OK. What are you, my ? dad, stop trying to pull FOTR rank. I am always good to the trail and do my part, I agree some don't, but when you phrase your words that way you sound like an ?.

Remember, this is a PG-rated forum. Moderators should not HAVE to edit to keep it clean.

There is no FOTR rank to pull... it is a volunteer organization with no levels within it, short of Del, who sits up top. Anyone who cares about the trail is welcome -- but do be aware that FOTR's Trail Patrol will be out and about.

If you stay on the trail and avoid resource damage, Trail Patrol won't be a concern for you. If you are off the trail or damaging resources, then Trail Patrol will be trying to document it to report it to law enforcement... and your dad. :flipoff2:

Last meeting we tired to vote you up, just because you were not there :laughing:
I pretty much figured that might happen, enough that I almost tried to dial in from my layover in Singapore! :flipoff2:

The last time I was on the con, I carried out ALOT more trash than what I brought in... I would spend the weekend there doing trail repairs but I think everybody should be able to pick up their own trash

Holy crap its Vince! Vince might come across a little harsh but this will be a difinitive year for the Rubicon. Best behavior and treating the trail right can and will keep it open.

I would advise not going on that weekend for all the reasons others have stated. The Pirates for the last 3-4 years have tried as a club to avoid those weekends.

I'll go one better and say to Jerry, that if you can't keep it clean I WILL have you banned from the Rubicon Forum. This is not the first time.

aaaaannnd. Speaking to rank. Yes, Trail Patrol has rank. Ultimately I hope to see them able to issue cites. When or even if that ever happens we will see, but until then, Trail Patrol is to be respected as users who care.

Everyone I have ever talked to on the trail about actions or whatever, has been very nice and respectful of me and (I hope) the trail. It is only here, on the internet that the nasty name calling crap goes on. From within our own ranks. Very Sad. Especially since so many agencies give the internet too much "rank". Get IT??

Thanks to a little cooperation from everybody but the potty-mouth who started drifting, and a little editing, we're back on track. Thanks, Brian, Ryan, Scott, and others who help keep this Rubicon forum between the rails. :cool2:

Same thing for us. Early season is the WORST time to be up there.

Good discussions guys....thanks to all of you who are paying attention to the fact that our trail is under BIG eyes, as usual, even more so than last year.
Run it when it's dry! :laughing:

Thanks, Del

Uglyranger has the right idea...spring wheeling is for the desert where resource damage won't occur due to wet conditions. Think Moonrocks (although I hear BLM has their eyes on some spots there too) or Johnson Valley.
