Fellow off-raoder gone bad

[element981]

Rant on:
This past weekend I went camping with the family towards the upper back side of Eagle Rock (about a 1/8 from the last of the real bad stuff, but still need 4x4 to get to it). Come 10 pm Friday night we hear a V8 and metal slamming on rocks, but saw no lights. This guy is wheeling a lifted blue CJ7 (I think) with NO head lights, his girlfriend is using a weak flash light for him to see. The guy goes off trail bc it's too hard for his jeep, breaks trees down and cuts a new path through the veghttp://www.jeepforum.com/ubb/nono.gif To top it off he breaks down right in front of our sitehttp://www.jeepforum.com/ubb/brickwall.gif My dad and I look under his Jeep, his transfer case is bleeding, his exhaust pipe crushed, and you could hear the motor boiling. Anyways, this guy and his g/f rack out for the night a few yards down leaving the Jeep dead-lined right in the middle of the trail.
Now because of this guys stupidity I am now some what responsible for this guy and his girlhttp://www.jeepforum.com/gallery/files//1/0/gunman.gif.
Luckily the next morning a fellow Jeeper was doing the trail and could not pass this guy and was more mech inclined than I was and was able to help this guy get his jeep running. But this still does not change the fact he broke trees and cut new tracks that im sure other people will now use to by-pass this rocky area. I hate people like this.
Rant off

Yeah that sucks, you always have that one ass clown that has to try his best to ruin it for everyone else.

I think that to his face, you should have been nice like I believe you were. Then I believe you should have tried to get someone from the forestry service up there to hammer his A$$. It is people like that that make it hard for the rest of us to enjoy the wilderness. He has probably never even heard of tread lightly. I admit that I may get on the skinny pedal a little bit, but nothing like what you just described, and I always stay on the trails.

Exactly! People like that ruin it for everyone else. Because of people like this, those of us that are responsible and do tread lightly, suffer and lose access to public lands and trails. I hope Karma catches up with that guy at some point.

It was a trip. It was like he had no breaks and just bashing down the hill.

I got on my CB to see if I could reach FS people, but I couldn't get a hold of anyone.

[cavjeeper]

thats why I always carry a camera get a good shot of his plates and turn him into the FS. I hate assclowns like that

[USMCHarleyJeepGuy]

That trash gives all of us a bad name...the tree huggers assume we all wheel like that!

[usnavymitchells]

Jeep Owners are just like dog owners....No such thing as a bad Jeep, just bad Jeep Owners. Sometimes when you think you've seen it all another idiot comes along and proves they are still alive and well and living amongst us. I am just glad I was not there, my wife would have been yelling at me because I will out and out tell people to their face when they are acting stupid.... Hope the rest of your trip was good!

[Hitechredneck]

i hate people like that. was his girlfriend hot? maybe we could pass her on to a real jeep guy...lol

[soup31314]

did you get his name plate number report his ass.

It the prob we run in to up here all the time one ass clown messing it up for every one

[robplumm]

Well that sucks. Granted...I know I made a part of ER a little deeper, but that's just absurd. The trail's there to run and be a challenge. We have winches for the parts are too much of a challenge.....or...when your tie rod bends behind your front diff. *sigh*

Hope ya got his plate...what a douchebag.

[element981]

I failed... I did not get his plate and I didn't even think to use my phone.

[trailsnail]

That's fine, next run we make you can come, but without your jeep as punishment.

[Irish_Assassin]

[soup31314]

[element981]

That's fine, next run we make you can come, but without your jeep as punishment.

If I did that, who would be there to pull you out?;)

[Hitechredneck]

[element981]

Already had plans... But if time permits I will be there.

[RaymondDLilley]

You shoulda' slapped a "Tread Lightly" sticker to his damn forehead, maybe he woulda got the message

[Dragline]

Clowns, I hate clowns!!! This dude and g/f should be banned from the forest for life. Only takes one clown to ruin it for us folks.
