"Investigators allege that on Oct. 10, Elford, accompanied by Olsen,
drove his pickup truck around a locked barrier and along a path
reserved for pedestrians and bicyclists, then through a second
barrier...He then allegedly began driving on fragile soil known as
sinter surrounding Lone Star Geyser, spinning "doughnuts" near the
geyser before eventually getting stuck."

Well, that's what happens when a soulless piece of sh.t decides to
tear up the land in a highly visible spot. Usually they get away with
it in places where few people (except their own kind) visit. This
Yellowstone incident was the same mentality in a different location,
that's all.

Whether carving up geyser basins, running over tortoises or demanding
that more roads be built on shrinking pristine land so white trash
couch potatoes can infiltrate it, this is how the typical
gasoline\noise addict thinks, to varying degrees. I apply the same
brush to a lot of snowmobilers and jet-skiers for whom wilderness is
little more than a backdrop to their petroleum parties.

The real definition of an "environmental extremist" is someone with no
conscience about wrecking nature.

Part of you probably thought the story was funny and wished you could
have been the one doing making geyser donuts, right?

The trashing of wildlands doesn't concern the average hardcore
off-roader. It's mainly about upholding their _image_ as people who
actually respect nature. But a perusal of sites like www.offroad.com
and their anti-environment rhetoric tells the true story. Almost
nothing is written in defense of nature. Just a bunch of whining about
needing more roads and more dirtbag access to wilderness.

As I said:

GIVE IT UP LOSER.

You don't know anything about me or my back-country ventures and
ethics.

We both know you are a pathetic troll with nothing better to do.

Enjoy your pitiful existence.

Very clever, I was expecting something completely different.

We really need to reverse the meaning of "environmental extremist" and
apply it to people who disrespect nature, not those who defend it.

Off-road groups and other Takers try to portray Man as an underdog
being held down by environmental laws. But nature is losing ground
(literally) each day to human population growth and indifference to
the plight of other species. The real extremists are the ones who
welcome the tragic infiltration of shrinking wilderness and call it
"progress." With so many access roads already existing in so many
places, they need to back off and let it be.
