[pct-l] Dirt Bikes & New PCT Solution

[Lonetrail at aol.com (Lonetrail@aol.com)]

My friend had a confrontation with a group of dirt bikers on the PC in  CA 
from south of the boarder with large bundles of bushes (as in Bush) tied  on the 
rear of each bike. I don't think they understood English 
We called the local authorities and asked them if we had photo could  they 
make an arrest. They said no they would have top apprehend then themselves.  
During harvesting of marijuana 
last year the local police were ordered not to put up any road blocks  for 
arresting DUI's.  Was this to prevent the flow of marijuana? Just  read a report 
that one-third of pot is grown by the Mexican Cartel in our NF.  Money talks 
and we walk along with dirt bikes

Well, this is not a solution, but another way to fight back against the  
destructive dirt bikers on the PCT.  I propose that the PCTA offer a reward  for 
turning in abusers of the PCT.  Up on apprehension, fine, or conviction  of the 
trail abuser, the PCTA would provide a $25, $50, or $100 reward.  A  rich 
person out there has to make an endowment to the PCTA for funding the  reward 
program.

PCT trail signs would have a depiction of a cell phone  with a dollar ($) 
sign and explanation of the program.  In other words,  there would be a bounty 
for these knuckleheads and they would know it.

I  would be willing to do a simple description form like I have done for the 
police  department here in 
Las Vegas: "Witness Description Program".  It would  have an outline of a 
person and various lines to write a physical  description.  Also, along the sides 
would be various off road vehicles to  circle with a pen.  There would be 
other things too, but you get the  idea.  Of course, this would be a free design 
service for the PCTA by your  hiking buddy, Switchback.

Cheers, Switchback
