An old song goes, " Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs..."

As an old song goes, " Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs..". Now, too bad no one reads them or follows their wisedom. When someone complains about why more and more travel management is required on public lands, think about what you see here. This Jeep driver decided to leave the marked trail and venture past the signs, markers, and flagged fence all indicating that the US Forest Service does NOT want or allow Jeeps and other motorized travel in their wetlands. I guess he missed all the clues here. This happened sometime Tuesday morning, June 19th, 2007. Now...before any of the self-propelled crowd such as hikers, mountain bikers, etc. get too self righteous here, we should take a good look at these photos. That is a mountain bike rack on top of this Jeep. This is someone who is part of the self-propelled crowd. As one of the signs this gentleman ignored reads, "Please respect the wetlands". The resource damage this driver did getting stuck was light. The resource damage he did getting it out was moderate.

Isuzu: Smart Minds Drive What /Where?

Isuzu's catch phrase currently is Isuzu: Smart Minds Drive Alike". Hmm, in this case, let's hope not. This Isuzu driver decided to not follow the US Forest Service rules and he went 4-wheeling off the trail. He got stuck and had to have Search and Rescue come get him back in November, 2006. The driver was seen borrowing his father-in-law's Jeep to try to get this stuck truck out of the still frozen mud the second week of June. 2007. I bet that made ole dad just so proud. On the bright side, if it had not been frozen in, it would have most likely been missing parts.
