Unless a DNR agent happens to be in the area
Even then, I bet they don't say a word. Even if they do, it's a small fine. I'll pay that shit on the spot, turn around, and drive right the fuck back on the same goddamned trail.
Give me any lip and I'll drive on it in a way to cause as many ruts as I possibly can - and I've got tall tires that would make some pretty sweet ruts!
Maybe...
I'd probably just giggle a little and pay the fine. I probably wouldn't antagonize 'em.
But, the odds of getting a fine are really low.
Now, if I'd been out there digging ruts and wrecking the joint, they'd be more likely to give me a fine.
That truck with the torque could make some awful bug ruts
Yes, yes I could. I can also drive in a gentle manner that causes no real harm other than maybe some contribution to other bad sections.
The trails are much smoother in the snow than they are in the rest of the season. They're full of things that get frozen and covered. Right now, it's still warm enough to leave ruts.
Speaking of which, other than in the woods and where some small snow piles were, we are out of snow. We're not officially out of snow, but it's very limited - even at my elevation.
