Sly Park... it's out Highway 50 through Placerville. It's on the way to the Rubicon and Kybers.

Looks cool guys, but I'm with Sean. We need to remember to tread lightly.

actually it is the third picture that I meant. It is pretty clear that there are fresh tracks driving around a bunch of "greenery". If it was your land, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But on public land we are not to drive off trail and the main principle of Tread Lightly is Leave No Trace. When the snow melt from that area in the next couple of weeks there will be a bunch of ruts with a lot of fresh evidence of your play time. Sly Park lake is a multi-use area with hiking trails and remote camping spots around the lake. When the hikers see and take pictures of those ruts, they will have more ammunition for limiting motorized access there and in other areas.

We almost lost the Jergins Trail last year and it is still in major dispute. Several folks with rigs tore up the trail while it was in the wet months and hell was raised with BLM by Sierra Club and other eniro groups (and rightfully so).

Remember Tread Lightly=Leave No Trace on public lands. We don't need anymore documented images to be used against us.

I didn't figure that you guys did it on purpose, we're just saying to be more careful, that's all.
