Saline Salt Tram Tower Damaged

Go Fast Campers | The YouTube video has been deleted 💥 but heres what we saw. 1) The stuck vehicle that appears to have had a winch line around the salt… | Instagram

If you move the arrow buttons to the side you will find some warnings about such activities. They have reached out to DVNP to help resolve the issue. There are user comments posted on the right of the video box, one being from the Park Service about the huge amount of tips that has come in about this incident.

My understanding from GFC's posts on Instagram is that they have no connection with the incident whatsoever, but (1) some people were asking if the camper on the truck is a GFC (it's not--it's identified in the Outside mag article), and (2) since this incident will almost certainly make the off-road community look bad in the eyes of many folks, GFC is trying to help mitigate this by emphasizing that this is one (of an unfortunate number) of rotten apples but not all off-roaders are like that, to educate folks on what should NOT be done, try to help NPS find the people who did the damage, and help get support for restoration of the area (depending on how NPS etc. decides this should be handled, but it sounds like numerous folks are interested in volunteering to help). 

My Instagram feed today has been full of reposts of this video and associated pictures, people and companies trying to spread the word of what happened and try to seek help in track down the individuals responsible for the damage. Hopefully they'll be able to catch these people.
