Jeep stuck on MTB trail in CA

[Keith A]

Kudos to the Jeep club for saving this guy's behind. Looking at some of the video of the rescue, I can't believe the driver thought they could make it across this ridge.

Once upon a time a rich and flamboyant blues aficionado drove his Ferrari down a dirt road to a juke joint in north Mississippi. Ground clearance proved to be an expensive problem.

I didn't think that Jeep was recoverable. Then I see that group of people that are apparently experienced and determined and I think: well, of course!

Nice work getting that out.

sad part is that someone in a local club will now stare at that trail and think "i could have cleared this" and give it a go. the last thing we need is for trucks to follow us onto the trails. it's already happening on some overgrown singletrack and all the fireroads..

Dawg, those dudes are all from Mexico where there are dangerously high rates of obesity and diabetes in indigenous communities. These individuals have not adapted on a metabolic level to the Western diet. So, yes, your comments are a bit insensitive.

Well, then, why not ride mountain bikes instead of driving jeeps? That'll burn some calories, I'm told.

what good would a bunch of guys with cyclist arms be, if the jeep started moving in the wrong direction ?

I was worried about that too. I think there is plenty of room for that trail to become dual track. Probably lose a couple of people in the process of ruining it.

They probably got some cyclists that realized they can exert a decent amount of force with their legs
