Talking to a couple of XC guys on the trail yesterday. They were fined $400. EACH for riding unauthorized trails in Sloan Canyon, NV. We've been riding that area for years. Just lucky I got a late start. The BLM issued the tickets.

I don't know if its a reaction to trail building on Government land or just revenue enhancement for the BLM. Seems like a severe spanking for kicking up a little dust in the desert. Beware out there, it could be coming to a trail system near you.
