Logging causes us to lose a lot of trails also. One of the problems we have is that we run legal township roads that are unmaintained and therefore pretty rough, but then the loggers come in with a bulldozer and gravel trucks and now it 's a two lane road you could run in a Civic.
I also find it ironic that people have a fit about the offroad guys tearing up the woods with a two track road that you can't even see in an aerial photo, but it's okay for the loggers to come in and make a 50 square acre area look like the center of a napalm strike. They never do this anywhere close to a paved or gravel road where the general public could see it......they always do nice select cut timbering and clean up after themselves in these areas, but travel back on a rough trail and we come across these barren landscapes with piles of stumps all over the place. I understand the loggers are just doing their job, so this is more geared to the anti-fourwheeling people.
