I personally believe that TG does bear a share of the responsibility for any wrong doing occurring on a run it hosted. As an employee of the company I am at least partiality to blame for what occurred and I truly regret what has occurred. The local Prather rangers know who I am, where I work and what I drive. I have and will do anything the rangers ask of me.
I don’t know what I can/should do to make this right but I feel badly about what happened on this run.

Chris,
Out of all the negative forums where this has been discussed, this is the first time that I've seen any acknowledgement or regret for what has happenend from you or Trail Gear. Like you, Dusy Ershim has a very special spot in my heart because of it's challenges and the beauty. I was absolutely appauled at what I saw posted; especially from a group that has years of wheeling experience.
Folks on this forum may not understand the impact of carelessness of the several drivers that were involved during your organized run and the resource damage that was caused; not to mention the negative publicity to Trail Gear.
It sounds like LE is handling the investigation for the idiots that literally ruined your event. I'd really like to see Trail Gear step up to the plate with FOTR, and the 4x4 club that adopted and maintains Dusy to form a "Friends of Dusy Ershim" patrol to assist in eliminating the very behavior that your attendees exhibited. I spoke with Del Albright about this yesterday after reviewing the disturbing no white fenders pictures. This wasn't just Hobie, Chris. This was documented evidence with 11 other rigs driving in areas that they had absolutely no business in.
I'm only one wheeler out of the hundreds that actually love that area. But for me, it's a step in the right direction and obviously a solution to the problem. If I can help, let me know as this would benefit the very trails we all enjoy with our families.
Mark
