( RANDLE ) – The Gifford-Pinchot National Forest says people in four wheel drive vehicles are ignoring closed road signs. It seems the low snowfall amounts this year are attracting people to areas which normally are impassible at this time of year. Officials say some of the roads are closed for the winter range of elk and deer. The winter recreation road closure extends until April 1, which bans vehicles from certain roads. -- Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites     |

"Racing through the woods on these machines destroys vegetation and habitat and tears up trail beds. Under this measure, violators will be easier to identify due to the requirement that these vehicles be both registered and numbered." -- Press of Atlantic City Editorial Board, "Regulating ATVs / Better than nothing", Press of Atlantic City (1/19/10) |
