I'm not happy with this trend of destroying good black diamond trails. How about stay off the trail if your rig is not capable. I watched a video the other day that made me sick to my stomach. It was a group of Subarus and Honda Passports tackling Mengel Pass in Death Valley.
Both Mengel Pass and Goler Wash were darn near black diamond trails just 20 years ago. Even a motorcycle was challenged with a Novice "C" rider like myself.
Now both are like damn freeways!! It looks like a bottom dump came through and filled everything in with small babyhead rocks.
Big Bear same thing. Holcomb Creek, Gold Mountain, White Mountain, John Bull and a bunch of un-named trails I used to enjoy are all dumbed down with filled in ruts and ledges.
What is wrong with society that they have to destroy good trails?
This video says it all. You don't even have to play it. Just look at the freeze frame and all the rock piles used to ruin it:
I'm an older dude now but I will continue to make it my mission on the trails to remove the man made crap so the trails can be like they once were.
