Let it snow, Let it snow, let it snow...

Between cold temps and a fair bit of snow, the front range over used mountains are starting to get a seasonal rest. El Paso Search and Rescue were out, well...out is a misleading word. It seems they all came to sit in their vehicles and wait. Two 16 year olds were late getting back from hiking and SAR vehicles were all occupied sitting and waiting for the hikers to get themselves down to the road. Gotta love winter!!!

This was seen Tuesday afternoon at the bottom of Old Stage Road. Now all the neighbors agreed that it was a sign of trouble. Well...while it was a very built Jeep, it came back to the bus almost as clean as it left. There was no visible signs of mud play. The female passenger who didn't know mud play was not allowed admitted she encouraged the driver to leave the trail and play in the mud, but the driver told her no and explained that is what gets trail areas closed to motorized use. Well done!!! Thank you for being part of the solution and not part of the problem. It was noted that the Jeep did not have license plates on it, and it was explained that valid plates are required on Old Stage Road and Gold Camp Road, and either a plate or OHV sticker is required on the side roads.

Nissan Murano: Unknown Story

This Nissan Murano was seen Saturday night, June 16th, 2007 on Old Stage Road. The front tires are freely hanging in the air, and the rear tires are over an inch off the ground also. The vehicle is totally perpendicular to road. Oops!!!
