Thank you, Seb! This is an amazing article. I try to make every effort to be
respectful to those who build trails, but if a trail is built on public
property and not managed through an agreement with the appropriate agency
(Sites and Trails etc…), then anybody has a right to ride it (and technically,
alter it, although this would seem to be a bad idea). Builders so often feel a
sense of ownership and entitlement when building on public land, but really
don't have a right to. As you so aptly put it, it is actually quite simple:
get the appropriate permission (and/or build on private land), or risk losing
your work and control of the infrastructure.
