ATVs & Bike paths

In Alaska, ATVs follow the roads & paved paths ....but
are not to be on the non motorized paths .
So they drive on the edges.

Many miles of the MUPs look like this ,
rocks & gravel covered:

that is unfortunate. hopefully you don't have to ride on that for long. it's one thing to go looking fr gravel. it's another to be forced to ride on it ;-(

Said no money budgeted for sweeping the non motorized paths. (or road shoulders)
I volunteered to drive sweeper, for free,
OMG, the earth would split in half.

Mostly kids, here they use ATVs , where the over 50 crowd used bicycles, at that age.
