Attention all ATV owners and riders:
We have to stop creating bowls on the dikes, it not only weakens the dike, it is dangerous to all ATV riders. I feel we must stop the doughnuts on the dike trails as well. That starts the bowls! I have talked to some of the young riders and asked them to find someplace away from the "traffic areas" to make their bowls. Someplace where it won't hurt the dike and will not create a dangerous area to other ATV riders.
I don't think the problem is entirely with our "young ATV riders" totally, not naming any names.
So please, ATV riders young and old, show some consideration for others. Ride responsibly, cause it could stop ATV riding period.
Thanks
Duncan Lakes
