in all fairness, night time travel through nesting areas doesn't seem like a good idea. just think of all the ""jerks"" who would be driving through at night. even the most well intentioned and aware would eventually run something over in the darkness. and we all know that responsible people are a dwindling minority these days. escorted or not. even the escorts could get careless. especially if they are just escorting for the pay. it's probably 80-85% willingness to pay, and 15-20% trust issue.
obviously mostly the willingness to pay. but in todays world from a conservation standpoint. i dont trust people as far as can throw them. if we could trust people to be responsible this wouldn't even be an issue. could just say "hey don't disturb them" and that would be that. wouldn't that be nice..... ::dreams::
