I don't like how freaking big our city is, but I'm not railing against people buying houses in the out lying areas.
You make it sound like the whole forest is being destroyed. It's a (relatively) small area designated for a particular use. Just like oil fields, cities and logging. Get over it.

Amen reverend. I am not a big 4x4'er but I have done a bit and it is a blast. I can understand if it not your thing but this is their area to do it. There will always be idiots, with every type of event, who do stuff they are not supposed to do. On the whole, I find people who regularly go to Mclean Creek / Waiporpus are very respectful of the area and do everything they can to make sure they can come back year after year.
It's not like May long is the only time that there is off-roading done in these areas. It happens all summer long. It is just some of the morons who come out and get waaaaaaaay to drunk on may long that sell headlines. The people who lap up these stories and get all bent out of shape only serve to perpetuate the problem.
