<WARNING: Off Topic RANT>
It does make me think about the tracks of the 4 wheelers now tearing up the American deserts.
Those will also be there for a long, LONG time.

At least the tracks of the Snow Machines in the Northern wilderness only last until the next storm or the spring thaw,
but the unwelcome memories of an un-muffled high performance two stroke engine shattering the incredible quiet of frozen wilderness morning will last a lifetime.

I can't help it.
I HATE those machines, and the fact that it opens pristine natural wilderness to assholes too lazy to hike,
ski, or paddle into those areas.
It was much more precious when one had to WORK to get there.
