Jeep Cherokee Rollover

.
This was seen a week or two ago. Just another Jeep Cherokee 4x4 that fell on it's head while playing in the rocks. To this driver's credit, he was smart enough to make sure and get it out of the forest the same day he wrecked it. There isn't really much to tell here, but the truck just looks like it is about to cry itself. Maybe next time this guy would be better off parking his Jeep 4x4 Cherokee at the Broadmoor Hotel and letting the guys from Adventures OutWest do the Jeep driving. (grin)

Leave the paint at home!!!

.

OK, so here is two examples of how two different groups marked where they wanted their friends to turn off the main road. Now if your friends ever call you and say "yeah, we have set up camp, just follow the yellow arrows painted on the trees or rocks...", let them know they are part of the weaker side of the gene pool. If on the other hand, your friends use a bright flag, a paper plate with a group name on it, etc. and are diligent to take it with after all have arrived, then let them know they are smarter then the average camper seen 'round these here parts. I am sure the Forest Service folks see painted and other semi-permanent marking as the perfect reason to give your campsite a closer than usual look. This is a prime example of where "leave no trace" applies to more then just motorized sports folks. Leave the paint at home!!! As a side note to ponder...the red flag was a group of adults camped on 372. The yellow paint was a large under aged party on 374.

Must Be A Jeep Thing

.
Dare I say...This MUST be a Jeep thing..cause I don't understand. Why would you four wheel where you aren't supposed to? This was taken during winter of 2006, "at the pond" on Gold Camp Road in the Pike National Forest. The US Forest Service rules do NOT specify seasonal conditions to stay out of the wetlands, it just says stay out period. This person then made the grave error of leaving it over night and letting it freeze in.
