hi guys I am conducting a test. I want you all to go the www.michigan.gov page and see how many screens you have to click through before you find the ORV/ATV page.

the rules, no using the search bar on the site.

the second part of this is how many screens you have to go through from the main page to the trail maps page(which has been moved)

good luck. and let me know what you find out.

I tried Environment on the left, as well as Travel & Recreation.

I searched through all of that, but finally found the ORV page by going to State Web Sites at the top and clicking on Natural Resources underneath the Executive Branch heading.

What a PITA.

3 but yea, that site sucks. If you didn't look at the departments drop down thingy you would never find it.

 

[Buggy_Tim]

Oh, and 1 more to the trail maps.

its kinda the point I have been tyring to make. it takes many passes through the maze to find the info. even when you click the resourses page its not evident as to where it is. on average I have been 6-7 pages before I find it taking different routes.

its almost like the treehuggers are running the web page and don't want us to find the info?

 

[Buggy_Tim]

I usually use the michigan.gov/dnr and all is good.

7 to the orv page 8 to the trail maps.

LOL - been there - done that - hit the search engine

I didn't find it. I have an ATV, but won't go on that awful site to find new places to legally ride.

3. although if you didn't knw what you were looking for exactly I could see where it could take you a lot of looking around on there.
