On a weekend in late April, ironically close to Earth Day, Lee Vining resident and Friends of the Inyo Executive Director Paul McFarland found himself chasing down three motorized dirt bikes that were illegally riding on the Lee Vining Creek trail below town. To make matters worse, the off-highway vehicle enthusiasts continued on towards the shore of Mono Lake at Old Marina, laying down deep treads of damage on the fragile shoreline and even venturing into the shallow lakeshore waters before continuing up to the US Forest Service Visitor Center.
