Ford Truck Illegally Stuck in Mud : Driver Ignored Posted Signs

.

OK , I have lost count. How many trucks have been seen stuck in mud just past the "no motor vehicles" signs in the past two weeks? If you look closely at the second picture you can see the top of one of the white signs jsut behind the truck. Look about half way back on the hood. There is over 10 of those same white signs posted within a couple 1000 feet of this stuck Ford. I was disappointed to find that this Ford was sporting a window decal from a local military base. It was noted that there was also a black Toyota Tacoma stuck here today too, but someone had pulled it out before we arrived.

Greetings and thank you for sharing this information. You bring much needed attention to a real problem.

Do you know what the USFS response is when they come across identifiable vehicles like this?

Just stumbled across your blog. I am curious as to what, if any, penalty is handed down by the Forest Service, or other managing agency, in these situations.

That question would be best asked of a USFS employee or better yet a USFS Law Enforcement Officer. I can only say that I have seen the USFS bring some of these individuals before a Federal Magistrate and be fined several thousand dollars for rehab costs.
