Some people are mean and just don't care about damaging trails others are just uneducated and don't understand the problems they are causing. I used to be like that - "Mud? Cool!" Thanks to friends at FORC showing me the way, I now have the utmost respect for our trails...So, don't ride through the mud and if you see someone else riding these trails, PLEASE kindly let them know it's not the thing to do and why (see above). Most logical humans will understand and be more kind to the trails going forward. If you see someone doing wrong and don't say anything, you might as well be doing the damage yourself.

Remember: Only you can stop trail rut...
