Controversial Trail Topics

How Controversial Can a Trail Be?

Look on both sides of this post. Now look above it and below it. What do you see? More importantly, what don’t you see? Let me count the things you don’t see:

  1. advertisements
    controversial trail topics

    money talks

  2. corporate sponsorship
  3. government sponsorship
  4. affiliate sponsorship
  5. donor funding
  6. volunteer obligations

So what’s my point? Go look at other trail websites, and you’ll see that they’re beholden to a number of different entities. Therefore, they have to be especially careful what they include on their website. NOT TRAILSNET!! We are free to discuss the most controversial trail topics.

Trail Forum That Tackles the Important Trail Issues

Trailsnet is free to discuss whatever we want.

  • You don’t think the government provides enough funding for trails? Let’s talk about it.
  • You think the XL  Pipeline should be required to fund trails in order to get construction approval? Let’s talk about it.
  • You think the multi trillion $ Chinese company that is building the Nicaragua Canal should be required to help build a concurrent transcontinental trail? Let’s talk about it.
  • You think the justice system screwed up when they ruled in favor of the landowner and against the Medicine Bow Trail in Wyoming? Let’s talk about it.
  • You think open space managers should be a little more trail friendly? Let’s talk about it.
  • You think the various trail mapping websites should quit ignoring Trail Biking as a category? Let’s talk about it.
  • You think electric bikes should be allowed on trails? Let’s discuss it. (Most discussed topic on Trailsnet so far)

Make Trailsnet Your Trail Discussion Website

Trailsnet.com is a free spirit. We aren’t in anybody’s pocket, so we can discuss whatever trail-related topic we want, no holds barred. Feel free to leave Trailsnet a message via email or in the comment section found on most Trailsnet.com web pages and let me know what you’d like to discuss. Unbeknownst to most people, there are some very important trail discussions happening right now; but these discussions are happening on members-only forums. It’s time we stop talking about controversial and important trail topics on private Yahoo Groups and start talking about them out in the open on Trailsnet.com.
