Bye bye singletrack *sniff*

Some land managers seem to confuse "development" with "improvement".

Got to the bottom of the singletrack descent in to the forest last night, to discover that they'd
decided to plough the singletrack that runs next to the stream. From the looks of it, they're
going to turn it in to some sort of wide multi-purpose trail.

We had a short section of single track through some scrub under willows along a river bank near here
that was 'improved'. Our little local newsletter congratulated the guys for opening the track up
again after it had become 'overgrown'. I don't know what Wally improved it, but he's 'cut' a new
trail alright. What he's really done is cut a trench that's more or less 3' wide and 4" deep along
the trail. That'd be fine if he was going to fill it with gravel and crown it up but I don't think
that'll ever happen. I hate to think what'll happen when the wet winter weather hits. Can you say
"new stream"? Small town, someone must have thought it'd be a good idea to keep someone on the
maintenance crew busy. No idea.
