Deb I understand your concern and yes parts of it are a mud hole. I have been over close to every inch of that area and the ONLY area that I feel has suffered any E-Impact is the entrance and exit for off-road vehicles to the camp ground. Every off-road veh. must enter and exit the camp-site on one small dirt road which is chewed up bad multiple times a day. Can you imagine what a 1 mile stretch of road in Calgary would look like if everyone had to use it to get in and out of the NW. At Mclean Creek there is whole sides of mountains stripped bare for logging and so a 10 foot path through that area is considered a horrible Environmental- impact case? Deb I respect your concern as without it and others of the same we wouldn't have the rules that are currently in place to safe guard my quadding passion. Thanks again and YES I do respect nature and do my personal best to ensure its cleanliness and try to stay on exiting paths. Those young and old that accompany me I try to teach and mentor the well being of this beautiful area.
I wish a few people that are so diligently hugging those trees would pick off a few of the pine beetles.
I am glad all enjoyed the pictures.
