TexasBadland's way = Badlands

I've seen natural "badlands" and while an interesting, beautiful and sensitive landscape, I prefer undisturbed natural environments immediately adjacent to narrow OHV trails. TexasBadlands approach to blazing new trails will leave us nothing but "Badlands".

My preference is for OHV trails that provide ACCESS to remote public lands. Trails that are historic corridors through remote wilderness areas. As mentioned above, there are plenty of these historic trails - if they can be kept open and re-opened properly.

Personally, I'm not interested in wheeling in a dirt lot next to the WalMart.

Yes you do and the trail becomes wider and wider at every mud pit. We've all seen it and trails have been closed because of it.

And it's not just mud pits, you also create bypasses at any obstacle too tough for your rig (or more likely your driving ability), again widening the trail, creating more unneccesarily disturbed areas subject to erosion. Get a clue.

If you can't stay on the trail - stay home.
