Saline Salt Tram Tower Damaged
#10
Thank you for the link. It was an interesting read.

I applaud GFC's efforts to be an ambassador between the Park Service and those of us who enjoy responsible off roading. They conveyed that very well in their words associated with the video.

The tower looks to have survived the fall intact. I'd think it would be a relatively simple effort to re-right it, hopefully falling into its original footprint and doing whatever compaction of the footings necessary to keep it in place.

There is another set of two videos of another couple who got stuck very close to the same spot in March. It appears that they might have brought in a couple of pieces of wood from the tower to aid in traction. Or maybe they were there all along; yanked off by previous people stuck.

And I see someone had downloaded the removed video on their Google Drive and has shared it at the Saline forum.
