tread lightly clears hey joe canyon trail

Tread Lightly!, with the help of partners and volunteers, cleared 11 miles of tamarisk from Hey Joe Canyon, an off-road trail in Moab, Utah. The Easter Jeep Safari stewardship project was completed during the event.

Tread Lightly!’s completion of projects during past Easter Jeep Safaris allows attendees to give back to the trails they enjoy. Red Rock Four Wheelers, the event organizer, has promoted responsible use of these trails for many years.

Among the companies participating in the clean-up were Quadratec, KC HiLites, Foundation 1023, and Fieldcraft Survival. Activities like this help ensure future access to trails in Moab, and throughout the country. All the off-roaders involved in trail clearing understand the value of keeping trails open and accessible to everyone.

Matt Konkle of Quadratec said, “We look forward to participating in the Tread Lightly! trail clean-up each year during Easter Jeep Safari. For this year’s event, it meant trimming back tamarisk. It also involves collecting any trash we find, repairing damaged sections of the trail or signage, and staying on the trail to protect wildlife and soil from damage.”

Along with its partners, Tread Lightly! leads a national initiative to protect and enhance recreation access. They promote good outdoor stewardship and taking responsibility to leave these areas better than they find them. The 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to keeping outdoor recreation areas beautiful, healthy, and accessible.

The organization’s educational, training, and restoration outreach instills an ethic of responsibility in outdoor enthusiasts while pursuing a variety of recreational activities.

The program’s long-term goal is to balance the needs of the people who enjoy outdoor recreation with our need to maintain a healthy environment. Protecting our rights to participate in outdoor recreation is Tread Lightly’s aim. 12.2 tons of trash were removed from public lands in 2020, thanks to Tread Lightly!

More and more public trials are being designated "by permission only' so they're not really only for members of the politburo.

  @Pig_Iron If the trail is on private land, then yes. There's also the aspect of liability. If one builds trails for a sanctioned club event then it isn't unusual to need to be a member to be covered under event insurance. The last point is if one has to "get permission", that's often because azzholes got on the trail and made a mess.

I would pay $29,000 just for that Bordello Red velour interior. Just kidding. It's probably worth $8 or 9,000 tops to someone who for some reason really wants one, which very few people do. If you were going for a quick sale, I don't think you'd get more than $5,000, even assuming it really checks out as being in mint condition. On a bad day, less, possibly much less as it's possible that not a single solitary soul really wants to own this car. Why would you want to?

Tassos GM, especially under the sorry reign of socially promoted nobody Mary Barra (who would not have a chance in hell being appointed the CEO if she was a MALE) has done far dumber and sillier things than that, wasting BILLIONS on 'cruise' and expecting it to make it $50 billion, remember? THey do not mention the name much these days, the clowns at GM, do they?
MaintenanceCosts I notice that the pictures don't show the dash or the door cards, two places where you'd be most likely to notice interior disintegration on a VW of this vintage.Looks nice on the outside but I wouldn't touch it.
SilverHawk At least in the short term, this is simply going to cause more anxiety among the more technology shy consumers looking to buy a new vehicle. Especially when this is not being done for the benefit of the vehicle owner, but for the convenience of GM's marketing department. Personal data security is an extremely important issue in today's world.
Ajla I don't think I'd be able to part with something I kept for 23 years. Especially as the only owner.
MaintenanceCosts What now?Lack of CarPlay would be disqualifying for me, and as a current GM EV owner I was a reasonably likely future GM EV customer. Not good at all.
