Though didn't you or Brice get a note on your vehicle on the Cottonwood Road? Last spring there was a couple in a camper van who had driven off road a fair ways to camp near the vault toilet where the Beatty road takes off from the North road. I called it in (via 911). My buddy called it in (via the number in the park newspaper, which is a better use of their resources) 25 minutes later - there had been no sign of a response. For that matter, I'm not sure I've ever seen a LEO off a paved road there.
Enforcement seems to be random. I’m sure they’re checking Echo & HITW relative frequently as they’re close.
We both got a note when parked legally off Cottonwood for a day hike. But that was an over zealous volunteer. When I finally to spoke to someone with authority I got an “ah, him, yes…” in response to “who signed the warning”.
I called in a group of about 20-30 off road racing trucks doing 60mph down Harry Wade. No one was answering so I had to leave a message.
I have seen patrols on dirt roads before. Def on West Side & Harry Wade. I’ve seen them at the Racetrack and rolling down Greenwater. Not frequently of course. They do patrol but it’s an insane number of road miles to cover with so few LEOs.
