I think it might be kids or even some tree huggers. Just wondering if anyone else deals with this crap? What steps have helped deter such behavior?

We have fallen logs and other natural obstacles constantly being removed. We think it is ''Lame- O'' bikers to use your expression. How to stop it? If you see them doing it try to talk to them. I have no other recourse without resorting to violence, which won't solve anything really.

Other trail vandalism has mostly to do with motorbikes ruining the topsoil and quads turning tight singletrack into 2 lane highways. Illegal yes, but again, unless you want to get into a fight, what can you do besides talk to them and the authorities?
