Just a reminder. Don't be an asshole.

Illegally Off-Roading in a Closed National Park Is Peak Asshole Behavior, Folks

A once vibrant Joshua Tree has been severed in half in an act of vandalism in Joshua Tree National Park on Jan. 8, 2019


A rock has been vandalized with graffiti in Joshua Tree National Park on Jan. 8, 2019


Visitors walk through a sensitive "restoration area" at Joshua Tree National Park in January 2019, during a partial government shutdown.




Fairly, these people are not likely to be 4x4 enthusiasts or anyone reading this post, but I felt it necessary to get the word out.

I read elsewhere that many of the tracks that have been traced recently are shitty all-season treads; hallmark of tourists in rental vehicles. These people have been cutting chains and locks blocking the closed trails and then going far off trail to commit acts such as cutting down trees.

 

Wow that is just awful, gotta hate useless people sometimes.

 

This sucks.

 

Thanks for the post, people are idiots and it’s frustrating.

 

This not good to have vandalism like this in a state park such as Joshua Tree

 

National Park*

Sad.

 

People suck!

 

Joshua Tree National Park is only being patrolled by a few Park Rangers right now and a Rock climbing guide company was doing maintenance

 

That is not good

 

What the hell man, rangers go home and people just go out and start knocking trees down?!

What the f**k.

 

It pisses me off when dumb fks tag on chit!!

 

Humans Suck!

 

Always okay to remind people of etiquette out there.

 

if we catch them spray painting our parks we should spray paint their face

 

I was watching a news report on this and they are blaming the off road community for all the damage! But as you can see the gang type of tag " The 419" when the Guards are away the criminals come out to play and screw it up for the folks who love our parks!

 

Judging by the vandalism.. I’d say teenagers with dads truck. Find em, take em out back and crack some knee caps.

 

Set up snipers. They’ll leave.

 

Good way of culling out the idiots of society.
