That brings a silly country song to mind when I look at those photos,  Well the Chev got stuck and Ford got stuck, but the Chev un-stuck when the Dodge showed up, but the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut, witch eventually pulled out the Ford (with some difficulty)  lol
I think its Corb Lund that sings it......funny song

http://www.corblund.com/index.cfm
From the album Hair In My Eyes Like A Highland Steer (2005)

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut,
Which eventually pulled out the Ford
With some difficulty

Well more rain than we’d seen for a thousand years
Caused financial joys and biblical fears
It caused some smiles it caused some tears
But more to the point of our story
For The first time in the collective memory,
That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy
Boggy and sticky
We’d pull one truck out and get another stuck in
And motors would roar and tires would spin
We’d sink right down, down to the diff, and we’d all take turns and do it again
Till no one could move, we’d call one more friend,
Come on out here, we need you…bring your truck

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
Which eventually pulled out the Ford
And the Dodge

They got me stuck in the mud, so they couldn’t rehearse
And Chavase too has missed his work
Richie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk
Course Holman didn’t have nothing better do to, ‘cept ranch.

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
Which eventually pulled out the Ford

Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck
‘cept the big old four by hutterite truck
We all thought “lord are we in luck!”
But he wouldn’t come anywhere near us,
Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly.

So we used a lot of our backs, a little of our brains
We jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains,
We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin’.
We put what timber we had, underneath the wheels
And we was all out of sand, but managed to steal
Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see,
That ‘oughta give us some traction

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
Which eventually pulled out the Ford

We spilled genetically modified canola seed
That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds
And for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native prairie soil
Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us

I like to drive off road trails too. And first thing in driving off road is not to get stuck and avoid trouble spots. Those mud holes you can't establish the depth why would one want to drive in it? And it's definitely a display of irresponsibility.  bad

You should ask Dragonspeed about depth estimating when trucking.

With his method I'll need to tow a row of trucks..

The moron that ran over his own dog didn't even realize it! He got out to check if there was any damage to his truck..(maybe more concerned with more $ having to come out of his pocket after already paying the hefty tow bill?)...till he was told that he'd just run her over! Extremely hard to feel sympathy for the owner, as he ran to his dog. Even worse, that poor little dog did not die immediately. This man is a total waste of space...maybe his wife thought about doing that to him when he went home and said, "Honey, I had to pay a tow bill...oh, yeah...and I killed the dog!"
   Let this be a lesson to all people who let their dogs run along beside their vehicles...it only takes a second!

Nice to see I can be a small source of humour in this bleak thread 

[Rodney]

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

[Rieber]

Not to downplay the needless death of an animal but what if that dog was a child? sometimes people just don't get it.

Unfortunately they use the confluance of the Sumas - Vedder on the dry days to get muddy. I've seen them there many times in the fall getting stuck when fishing. I guess some people have to break there truck a few times to start to look after it. Should be charged for damaging fish habitat in the meantime. I'm bringing my camara next time and report them.

Yes I have seen this too at this spot. The file on this issue is now in the works, I do not know how or if something can be done top stop it butr an attempt will be made.

I know 4 wheelers need a place to do their thing but not at the expense of our fragile envinvironment

[Pantharen]

I wonder if there would be a way to provide drainage to those areas, without completly closing it off to us Fisher-Folks. Away to make it unsavory for the rednecks....

They do have plenty  of places to go if they would get connected with the 4x4 groups.  Most 4x4 associations I've seen are very responsible for the environment and respect its fragility.
Sounds to me like a bunch of punks lacking discipline.

[chris gadsden]

why not have a cop sitting at the driveway to the road writing tickets and have vehicle inspects for mud covered tail lights, obstructed windows, and broken driving components (shocks) as well as tickets for diving off the dyke and on the "river bed".

Good points we will discuss this with the CO's and they may get the RCMP on this also.

[Coho Cody]

horrible horrible horrible .


PS: i love that song

[Terry Bodman]

This again is really a matter of enforcement, like so many other issues. The RCMP could have a field day any time they choose to visit the area. All it takes is an interest or, even better, a public outcry. Let's not group these offenders in the 4 x 4'er category or the off-roaders. They don't belong to those groups. They are the executive members of the "goon group."
