Last night I was reading my latest issue of the BRC (Blue Ribbon Coalition) Magazine and the crap that goes on blows me away. There were stories in there of state legislators trying (and sometimes succeding) to use OHV money to fund other gov't BS. This is the money they collect from us when we go to a state operated park and pay the use fee. In Colorado they wanted to take money from the OHV fund and use it to promote "eco-tourism"!!!!! Can you imagine the outcry from the greenies if you used "eco" money to promote OHV use? In California they took $90,000,000:eek: from the OHV fund to put in the "general" fund. Bull!
My point is, do what you can to support the orginizations that support us. They do a great job of fighting the well funded wacko nut jobs that want to shut everything down. Well, they want to shut almost everything down, they are ok with; hikers, mountain climbers, cyclists, and bird watchers. They don't really care about nature, they just want it all to themselves. Selfish pricks.
Rant off, off my soap box.
