...I think I've covered it all. I'd also like to point out that when you are talking about "driving" a trail make sure you say "Travel", not "drive". Driving is technically being paid for a service. Traveling, either by motor vehicle or other methods, is a right of every citizen of the USA. Don't write in that you are "off-roading". Write in that you would like to travel an off highway area in your motorized vehicle. These small wording changes can make a big difference! Be very specific like I said before. Write why you like this or that trail. What makes it unique? Always make sure you use the area for RECREATION. This will go a long ways in keeping our trails open!!
Good info!! Thanks for taking the time...but remember, we all have to also practice what we preach, staying on trails and not cutting our own paths.
You might want to consider moving this to the "Land Use, Trail Closure, and Legislative Issues" forum. It applies to everyone, not just Arizona.
One other point... driving has never been a right... it's a privilege, at least it was the last time I saw a driver's handbook. The point I'm making here is... when writing letters, you have to have your facts straight too, or they will be dismissed as the author doesn't know what he's talking about.
