after this extreme immature little rant I went to the alberta website to do my due diligence, I had figured they are open year round. I had looked at it back in November so my memory could have been off, however it is open year round on the trails I will be using, and the water crossing looks to be open until Aug 31st, other trails closed March 31st, however I have never been down those ones anyways and would be uncomfortable leading others down them.
Thank you for your concern but I think you should go back to yelling at small children and skateboarders, how is your rudeness tolerated by the admins on here? is it a small penis thing?
It's tolerated because he's right.
The places where a vehicle fords a stream are generally the places where that vehicle can do the most damage to a sensitive area. Because of this, what we've learned to do is to only use water crossings in areas that SRD is "okay" with (like the rock-bottomed crossings in the Waiparous area), and we cross the stream with no messing around. Straight across, no wheelspin, no playing on obstacles, no fooling around.
This is a sore spot because some people who frequent this site (NOT CJA members) have chosen to demonstrate a complete lack of respect for the country that we love and post up video of driving up and down streams doing colossally stupid things like spinning rims inside tires that they have already ripped off the bead in and effort to show how big their weenis is. (I guess that's where the small penis part comes in).
Maybe Apeman was a little grumpy about this - but please understand that folks who have been around the offroad community for a while get tired of people who have just arrived tearing up streams and fish habitat and then posting videos of it on line.
