We all use Jeep trails for many things. From serious Jeeping to sightseeing with your family, but as I write this letter, people and organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Forest Service are trying to close trails. The most they have done is close certain trails during certain parts of the year.

This doesn’t mean that the closures won’t become permanent. These closures don’t only affect people who Jeep the trails. It affects everyone in the community! People need to have outdoor options. Jeeping creates many jobs as well because of parts, servicing and towing. I do agree we need to stop people from destroying the trails because that destroys everyone else’s chance of going on that trail. We just need to talk to the Forest Service and volunteer for cleaning the trails and maintaining the trails just as the Creeper Jeepers do.
