Spotlight Article on Off-Roading

If the state was smart they could "cash in" on a idea of designated trails for off roading, kind of what they do for Rausch Creek in P.A. (http://rc4x4.org/) Mark off a few trails that they already have for ORV and charge either a day pass deal or year membership. This could even create a few jobs in the area with supervision of staying on marked trails and maintaining these trails for the environment. Let's face it: people have been driving in the pine barrens for years and most likely wont stop.

If you confiscate their vehicle when they are illegal, they will.

Have you ever been to Rausch Creek? I would hate for the Pines to be turned into that.

Yes I have been to Rausch Creek, and it is a big park. I was simply using the idea of it for the already marked trails in the pine barrens or maybe another location to defer people off roading in the pine barrens.

As for confiscation goes: If you know about Sarco in manchester I would bet any amount of money that more ATV's and ORV's have been confiscated due to tresspassing then in the Pine Barrens. Yet Generations of generations have grown up back there and continue to go.
