Somewhere in this photo is a man on a machine working his way up a mountain. I have ridden many a foot trail in this part of Arizona and to tell you the truth never, once met a hiker, yet the town of nearly 45 miles away wants to ban these trails from off-road bikes because of the “fugitive dust”.

I suspect the founders of our great country did not suffer insomnia from the idea of fugitive dust. So it goes…get rid of the trails bring in the golf course’s. I ride mostly off-road and love meeting people of like mind, but for crying out loud we have the fugitive dust patrol on alert while the earthmovers make way for your next tax expenditure.
