A few random thoughts....
Drive on M from 51 to Boulder Junction and notice all of the cuts in the hills by the side of the road (on the right hand side). I wager those are caused by snowmobiles. I am sure that the quick spring growth will bind those cuts together, and they mostly aren't near any watersheds, but it does offer us an interesting analogy:
1. The snowmobiles are riding illegally OFF the snowmobile trail.
2. Alongside the road is the ONLY area where the only law enforcement is likely to be found.
Yet, even in those conditions, enough snowmobiles run along the roads to tear up the earth.
So, here is the obvious analogy: If this happens under the nose of law enforcement, how much more destructive will ATV's be in large parts of the forest where there will seldom be any law enforcement?
