and no day is complete without a parking lot moron....

 

[MrRooster]

that guy was told to park there by the forest service so who does that make the moron? Good thing we were loading up when you were trying to leave. Did not like the way they parked us either.

......So if the forest circus told you to jump off a cliff.....

Protip: They won't ticket you (or do anything for that matter) if you don't park exactly where they tell you to....

While we're on the subject, there's a you can use to email them regarding the parking lot. I suggest using it and asking them to improve the current situation.

Fourtraxx: Glad the sled's running well, now that you have a sled you need to get out and ride more

Nice pictures, Looked pretty good

 

[MrRooster]

yea I kinda noticed that. Seen one guy just keep on driving by them as they tried to stop him and they finally just gave up. And no I would not jump off a cliff or park blocking someone in if they told me to for that matter. But ya can't really blame the guy if that is where they told him to park. Well mabey ya can, but my point was that they should have more sense than that being the official parking lot service.

Forest 'Circus'...come on Mule. I work for that Forest 'Circus'. I don't know the circumstances on the parking situation and have no idea the reasoning behind it. But I wish so many would realize that those that work up there have to deal with azzes everyday! Ya think people park like morons now, just imagine what that lot would be like if there was no one there to try to keep some type of organization. I don't work at VP but know the ones that do so please give these people a break! Some are volunteers and shouldn't even have to deal w/our crap. Trust me, they do a lot more good and a heck of a lot of behind the scenes work than given credit for. Nice pics by the way...hope ya'll had a great time (minus the whole parking lot ordeal)

Yeah, just like cops though... the few morons stereotype the whole organization.

OK,the thing is people come and go all day there and the forest service just crams people were ever they can and i don't think they realize what they are causing. We all come back from a long day of riding and just want to load up and have to deal with this s**t. So we assume it's the drivers bumb azz for parking there ( most of the time ) but when the forest service tells you to come on. They also jack knifed some guy in front of me so wasn't going anywhere, but i was lucky enough that the guy showed up a few minutes after we had returned. Thanks for that guy showing up when he did . How was your poker run ?

Skyjmpr---The whole deal w/the parking situation....I don't know the situation or who may have told these people to park like this. If the FS is parking people too close, then absolutely this should be brought to their attention. I will notify the Snow Ranger that this is happening. Unfortunately, with or without someone there to help park, some people just will not engage brain. We had a great time yesterday. Covered about 98 miles with clear blue skies...another day in paradise Day went off without a hitch except for one incident...Assault1 will have to tell you about it...all ended well but another 'story' created. It looks like ya'll had some good times. Lookin forward to this next weekend
