4-Wheelers

Regarding the issue of the use of 4-wheelers and snowmachines;
it's not just kids that need something to do. I'm an adult, and
the happy owner of a 4-wheeler. It's good, clean fun. (if you
don't believe me, come over when we get some snow and listen
to the kids squealing with delight when I pull them on their
sled with my 4-wheeler)
However, much to my dismay there aren't many places in Ketchikan
I can ride it. So, I'm left with roads; or making my own trails.
There has always been dissension between people who prefer their
entertainmnet without the use of motor-driven contraptions and
people who do. I have to make sure I don't run over a walker,
hiker, skier, whatever. They have to make sure I see them. Neither
is wrong, each is doing what they enjoy.
And, (make sure you get this down) they BOTH have a right to
be there.
