Re: [RC] wilderness - Mary SutliffTrail maintence in wilderness is a MONEY issue. Given the funds wilderness trails can be maintained by USFS trail crews using allowed equipment. Starved of funds as they have been by Congress in the last 15 years trails will continue to disappear. We are members of BCH and we have done a lot of trail maintainence over the years. However, volunteers can't and shouldn't be expected to do it all. In the late 1960's when we started going into the wilderness on a regular basis trails were much better maintained than they are now. This past October a severe storm here in Washington's Cascades wiped out many trails. We may never get them repaired. It's a money issue first and foremost. ============================================================ Why should I look good if I don`t smell good? ~ author unknown ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
