As an avid motorized recreation enthusiast I usually stop by here to see what kind of bashing that I and my ilk are receiving, and of course to look at your stunning photographs and read the well worded accounts of your many adventures. I was happy to see you refer to the snowmobilers as "friendly", but I have to admit that I read your post fully expecting to find that you were being sarcastic. I was delighted to see that you weren't. There really is enough room for all of us, and if we only take the time to respect each other, even just a little bit, then I can't see any reason why we can't all coexist peacefully. When I'm riding my snowmobile, or my ATV, I always try to stop and talk to any nonmotorized recreationists that I happen across, (it doesn't happen very often, I find that most of the time the two groups chose seperate areas for obvious reasons), in order to foster better relations. If nothing else, it at least gives them time to get far enough away so that my noise and dust doesn't bother them too much. I try to encourage other riders to do the same, as do most responsible snowmobilers and off road riders. It's the small percentage of wahoos that we're both gunning for. I hope that any other riders you find are respectful as well, I don't like being hassled when I'm having fun and looking for solitude in the mountains, so I wouldn't wish any bad experiences onto you either. Keep up the good work Tom, I truly do enjoy your site.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630989696223766407noreply@blogger.com
