Eagles Nest illegal bypass

[Herzog]

Let's keep this one ontopic.


I'm game for a clean up later this spring.

I've only been up RS & Con once since I move up north. I can't say it looked much like the original pictures when they were first ran. Pretty sad that it only takes a few "trail uneducated" to ruin it for everybody.

Are the signs too hard to read or comprehend? What's the deal?

Maybe an RME trail patrol is in order? Considering that someone from RME is up at the snakes almost every weekend, might as well get a little formal about it and start kicking people's arses for doing damage to the trails.

With 4000 members I bet these almost is.

I would like to point out that the first obstacle has a name. It is called the Wolverine.

good to know .i have slowly been picking up the different names of all the different obsticals

It doesn't seem to matter if the people are form RME or not, we have our own share of idiots here. I usually go out with a group from RME, most are great guys and stay on the trail and we have a blast. Others seem ok, and are just total belligerent dumbasses and drive like there at the mall hopping curbs and whatnot.

I can say I have had similar experiences.

honestly I think they are ignored.

 

[Shawn]

other than that keep your own rules to yourself.

I would also like to here more about this statement. I don't think anyone here is making up any new rules.

I also can't believe that I just read a U4WD member said that bypasses are ok... that is just sickening.....

Honestly when I went out there I saw the Rattlesnake Sign (thats because it was showed to me). but i didn't see Con's sign. It was hard to see, It kind of bleneded in. Maybe get them more visable.

I was kind of suprized by that also.

I think that specific BB member was thinking like those detour signs on the highway when theres construction, they send you on an alternte route.

The constrictor sign is clearly visible. I've been up there twice and saw it nice and clear. It's clear it's a 5 rated trails and to expect body damage., ect. Bypasses were created by people and the sign does not outline the trail so those bypasses continue to get used because new people to the trail are not aware of the correct path, or ASSUME there a legit bypass.

I am not saying, nor do I think scoutabout is implying to continue using these 'illegeal' routes, rather just discussing should there be some officially made, specifically in winch only locations alternative lines. To me, winching up an obstacle isn't much fun and really defeats the purpose and challenge.

Flame on.

 

[Badger]

all i can say is wow if thats what it used to look like.

NO BYPASSES.

Suprise Canyon has always been winch only. and the pictures are incredible that I have seen. winching is not a bad thing and sometime is just a necessary evil.
