?I just enjoyed a great post by fellow inmate Ford_Perfect in ADVrider.com’s Tread Lightly section. He posted a video, made by his friend that posts as eveRide on Youtube. The message is simple and echoed by your friends at Giant Loop: If you see random trash on your favorite trail, “PICK IT UP AND PACK IT OUT”. The message is along the lines of ?Ghandi’s ?statement, “We must BE the change, we wish to see in the world.” ?
The video suggests a couple methods for how to facilitate packing out trash, found on the trail. One method mentioned is to take a spare drybag, like our Rogue Dry Bag and some straps, like our Pronghorns, to load up and haul out the abandoned refuse. Without our participation, trail system and land managers will be faced with spending part of their management budget on trash clean up, instead of trail improvements. Each year our own local OHV park is tasked with removing tons of trash, piled in the designated OHV riding areas. Watch the video, do the math and do your part to keep our trails open and accessible for your favorite activity, Motorcycling!
Here’s a link to the video in case my imbed skills fail me:
