jgorm, your basic point here was mentioned by me further up the thread. It's true especially of the more seasoned offroaders (all types)...When it comes to the glass and nails, most of these rules will have no impact on them because most of them have adhered to them as unwritten rules already. Even with some of the crazies that go out there, they know that this is good for the offroad community. No one likes picking crap out of a tire or the bottoms of their feet.jgorm wrote:you guys crack me up with your seriousness. My cousins are crazy motocross desert guys (like the typical crowd). The first time i went to the desert with them they said you can't bring glass (because it breaks in the cooler while offroading) and you can't burn pallets where a vehicle could drive (because they had all had nails in their tires). So basically the guys that routinely go to the desert regulate themselves. No laws needed.
An example, they have always had a quiet time from 10pm to 6am. When I was a kid, my family and others would drag our bikes, buggies out and circle the motorhomes in some remote spot. Even then, there were camp rules that said you didn't fire up a vehicle in the morning until a certain time. Additionally, the bikes were asked to walk them out a distance before doing so...Especially the 2-stroke machines.
But, in a place like Glamis you can always expect the nuklheds, and all it takes is one to wake every camp within earshot. Why should all these other responsible folks have to deal with this? With these rules, I think you can expect someone to either mention the problem to that individual at first, and if they won't comply, to jump on a quad and run to the kiosk and ask the BLM rangers to pay that guy a visit. I know I would.
