Destruction of the wild.
Not-so Muddy Mountain Road
Great.
Making a formerly pretty wild area an effective city park.
This is just the kind of bullshit that ruins everything.
I hope the 4x4s coming off the muddy roads rip this newly paved road to shreds as soon as possible.
Clearly a bitter post on my part.
I"ve gone up the existing Muddy Mountain Road since I was a child. I've hiked up the one that preceded it as well numerous times when the current road was closed, something that's declined in enjoyment as the motorized ATV crowd goes up and down the same road getting to listen to the racket their vehicles make (you can literally hear them for miles).
There's a lot about this that's flat out wrong. One of those things is the absolute hypocrisy of Wyomingites, or in this case Natrona County residents, who loudly proclaim that the government shouldn't spend money on this or that, and then turn right around and subsidize the paving of a road for no reason, other than to allow people to flood the back country more easily, and with less effort. The road literally serves no purpose other than recreation, that's it, and makes it easier for people to get there with no real effort.
Indeed, the existing road was a good one, and had I been around when it was put in, I probably would be p.o.ed as well.
Meanwhile, in the winter, the same department that put in this road, if we have snow, won't be able to plow out the county roads that service the oilfield and ranches.
