Excerpts from Field Notes on
Illegal Off-Road Vehicle Use
When I checked ATV trespass on the Bald Mountain Trail on October 8, 2003, I did not have time enough to confirm that ATVs had traveled all the way to White Rocks. Since it is important to document trespass as serious as new ATV travel on an old foot trail, I returned to the Bald Mountain Trail and survey the portion I missed a week earlier.
Not surprisingly, my observations confirmed the Green Mountain Club report that ATVs had reached all the way to White Rocks.
