Further, non-sensationalistic media outlet research into this appears to 
indicate that the spikes have only been found on trails where ATV / Motor 
traffic is already restricted. No reports have been made concerning normal 
vehicle roads and spike incidents.  Further manual inspection of several 
normally trafficked vehicle roads show no sign of tampering.

In my view, this translates to some hikers who are frustrated by almost being 
run over by ATVs on the non-vehicle trails getting tired of no enforcement and 
took matters into their own hands.  Not smart, but at least it doesn’t appear 
to be general meanness toward all forest travelers.  So, if the ATV drivers 
reporting the incidents had not been where they didn’t belong, we might never 
have heard about this.

But, I read it in USA Today, it must be correct …
