I know that I/We are not supposed to go off of the trail at any time. But maybe a stupid quiestion, what if I need to get out of somebodys way, or if someone is broke in middle of the trail?
Flame if you need to, but I or my buddys don't want any tickets and I want to obey the trail rules. I havn't been up there in years!
Also, is there a donation that we can make to someone at the trail head? I heard rumor of it. I would like to do whatever I can to keep the trails open.
I know that is the case, but I also think you want to watch for the green stuff also. I'm not sure how much they are watching for offenders, but good to keep in mind .

On most of the trail there is room to pass another rig or least get by backing up a little ways. If someone is broke down blocking the trail then helping them to get out of the way would be what I would do.
As far as donations to the trail check out the Rubicon Trail Foundation web site. Here is a link to their donation page. Link Its tax deductible too!
The main page also has a lot of info on rules of the trail.
His name is Adam. He is a 4 wheeler and in his words...he has his dream job. Remember...Adam didn't make the rules...he just enforces them. In his words...if it's blatent...especially fires right now...you will get a ticket.
As for moving over to pass....Of course you can....it's all common sense. If you drive over a bush to let someone by, you probably will get a ticket. If you pull off the trail on to the dirt....then you won't.
Adam has said....he doesn't measure or anything like that. He's looking obvious violations...like someone driving up to Spider Lake and starting a campfire. Break out your wallet for that one.
I have seen a spot that a guy got a ticket for going off the trail. In actuality he wasn't more then 25' form the center and could win the ticket in court, because there is a trail maker right there. But he was hung up on some boulders BEFORE Gate keeper that are not "directly" in the path of the trail. I think they are enforcing real strict in that area so it doesn't look like a Freaking Circus right next to Loon.
If you are looking to donate, Our club will be there Sept 2 and 3rd doing a fund raiser. If you can't make it, but want to purchase some raffle tix, etc, then check out the link in my sig:cool2:
