Whatever happened to tread lightly?

In the 7/12 issue you have an article on rock bouncing buggies. At the bottom of page 82 there is a link to you tube videos of these buggies in action. In the woods, tearing the foliage down and destroying everything in sight. What ever happened to tread lightly? I thought your magazine promoted it. I am 60 years old and live in NJ. There is NO legal wheeling in NJ anymore. NONE. They are closing trails right and left and the rock crawlers have a lot to do with it. They are very visible and have a hammer down style. These buggies are even more outrageous. Those videos show them knocking down trees, tearing the hillside down and even coming close to running down the camera man. This is not the image four wheeling needs that is for sure. My CJ-7 has not moved for years because there is nowhere to take it.  If this goes to Rick Pewe, Rick, do you remember Granville King? The ultimate in graceful and knowledgeable wheeling. Maybe someday you should do something on him.
