Also keep in mind that these traps could be targeting the motorcylcists that ride out there. The area that is being described sounds like it is in the non-motorized area and people get even more pissed about that than they do about Mt Bikes. Also someone mentioned contacting the BLM, the land on Peavine is managed by the US Forest Service, not the BLM. Be sure to give them a call (Carson Office, ask for Jon Knudson [Law Enforcement] or Dan Morris [Recreation and Trails]) and if you have pictures or any other evidence.

I'm not attacking! I'm pointing out a problem we have in the cycling community. If we don't self police someone will do it for us! This was an incident I witnessed first hand that happened just before and in exactly the same area as the booby traps. Might be related, might not. It's worth the discussion. If peoples feelings are hurt because they believe they are being singled out, too effin' bad. I'd like to not get tore up on a booby trap because of somebody else' bad trail etiquette.

(looking down onto the radio towers, I don't know the name of the trail)  We took the wire down, but there could be more out there, so please be careful!  Rick Placak
