Quoted from USDA Forest Service, Official Website Recreation Report for July 2004:
"Tread Lightly Tip of the Month:
The logo for Tread Lightly is a thumb print which stands for leaving a good
impression. Unfortunately, too many riders have not been practicing this, and
now one of our most popular trails at East Fort Rock, TR 55 to East Butte
Lookout, has been closed until September 30 to protect the lookout and lookouts
from the vandalism, belligerent behavior, vulgar language, irresponsible riding,
drinking, and littering caused by riders who don't think or don't care. We are
all ambassadors for our sport and the future of our sport depends on all of us.
If riders want to party and be irresponsible, they are not welcome here.
With everyone's help, maybe we can turn this attitude around and keep Central Oregon what it is, or was, a place to ride."
