Was this guy drunk or just an idiot. I ride and wheel at TSF and am quite familiar with Back to Back. If one was to ignore the sign at the Bates Rd intersection the top of this hill could be a bit deceptive as it is a truck width trail above the final S curves where the motorcycle rut ends, but I think you'd have to be high to start descending past where the rut stops. I'm not defending this guy. I hope he got a fine to go along with what I'm guessing was a healthy tow bill.
@tobyeo Back to Back is open to bikes only, hence illegal in a jeep. I'm familiar with the area, I've attempted the hill climb before on my bike and wheeled my rig at browns camp.
the trail is way steeper than it looks in this video! the guys got lucky the jeep toppled over...had it rolled down the slope, it wud have been far worse!
He was ok, I think he had a cast on his arm. Ya, I tried to get a good video of it, I didnt want to walk up back to back in the mud it would have been a very hard climb and prolly take about a half hour to get up there. Might be easier to see once the video quality gets better

Serves 'em right for illegal wheeling!

@HahnsB2 It's legal to ride 4x4 here, however they made a wrong turn off the 4x4 trail and down a motorcycle only trail.

Most likely, they were going to attempt to get the Jeep on Monday. This video was taken on Sunday night.
