I gotta move to Idaho. Here in Ar. almost all of the singletrack has been blasted out by quads and the USFS won't let us make any more, even when we agree to make it with no money or help from them, and do 100% of the maintenance. Soon there will be no singletrack here unless dirt bikers get off their butts and get organized and work directly towards that goal. Everyone wants to just ride, race, and hope for the best while all other off roaders are finding ways to promote their individual sports and goals.

There used to be thousands of miles of good singletrack in Ar. Now there is probably no more than 300 total. Most of that has been stolen by hikers and horse riders even though motorcycle riders originally made it.

jgas, thanks for resurrecting this one. I wouldn't have found it otherwise.

Nada: What a great report.

Did you ever get back to do it again?
