trails, etc....and I hope I am not being a - um - whatever - bringing
this up, but....there is a BIG difference between "well-intentioned"
posse members on horseback (or jeep, or foot) and "well-intentioned"

like damage of any kind, but it is considered acceptable if it is
because we are looking for a lost subject. Before you say "no excuses"
imagine it was your 3 year old child or grandchild who wandered off
and it was getting to be night and it was cold and wet.....yeah, see
what I mean?
