Little Sluice Juniper Tree has Fallen

The box will never be the same, I'm gonna miss her.
I'm just glad i had the chance to enjoy her final days and sit under the shade of one of my favorite spots in california.




This tree was half the allure to that sot. Whenever we got there we'd B-line it straight for its shade crack a beer and enjoy the high life.








It's supposedly 1000-3000 years old.

RIP ole Juniper tree

 

that blows, its a countdown until it's blamed on off-roading and they try to shut down the trail.

 

man that sucks!!!!

 

Yeah the fact that it happened during the winter while nobody was out there is our only saving grace on that front.

Although i wouldn't be surprised, Sierra Club and others are pushing to close all the trails in the el dorado national forest.

 

found this neato pic on pirate

 

whatever dude, i wasn't talking about drinking and driving. I was talking about spectating.

Drinking beer while camping on the rubicon is not against the law...being a drunken sailor should be though.

 

Eh the original statement lacks the info to make that stern of an assessment. If he's driving around drunk then that's a problem, if he's a passenger or just hanging out, there's a difference.

Their headlines would read, "Ancient tree on the side of famous off-road trail falls, offroad related cause cannot be ruled out." They'll leave it up the polarization to choose sides and by that point it will be toxic. yet another false excuse to keep us trapped to the pavement

 

Remove all contents before reentering the vehicle problem solved

 

or keep the can outside the window

 

stop trolling in the NorCal section you traitor!!

 

Hey thread police, are you missing the point of this entire thread? I was talking about commemorating and enjoying what a landmark on the rubicon had to offer...Shade and mystique. If you look in the picture i posted directly below my comment you'll see people nowhere near a rig enjoying some cold ones under its sweet sweet shade.
End of discussion please/

 

what you posted doesn't make sense as there is no definition of Lands. If you're trying to make a point, you should make your point logical, by stating part B. Also, that land is in a national forest, CA vehicle code does not apply to offroad trails.

what you should post is a federal statute saying you cannot ride in a vehicle with an open container, or as the picture demonstrates, sit under a tree and drink.

 

Back on topic, It's always sad to see treasured landmarks bite the dust. though, its better during winter than killing someone in their rig.

 

Be cool guys.

I'm as hardcore as they come for "treading lightly" but using a 4x4 to gain access to a scenic spot where you stop, get out, enjoy the place you're in, and maybe enjoy a picnic lunch with a frosty malt beverage (as long as you pack out the trash), is part of the experience we're trying to protect.

 

drunk wheeling is a big no no, buzz wheeling now thats some good shiz! especially at night time when there are no one else you can injure except yourself lol

 

depends, its a felony if it's DUI with injury, question is, does self harm qualify as injury?
