ANOTHER OF THE MANY ADVENTURES OF PASS PATROL

 
 

HOLY CROSS CITY  -  Campfire Tales - October, 1997

Those who chose to enter it, did so knowing they would never get all that mud out of their vehicle’s private parts for so long as they should live.  In other words, to venture forward simply meant the driver didn’t really care about the appearance of the vehicle.

Very few vehicles made it through on the first try.  Open Jeeps found themselves stuck in the goo deep enough to cover the brake pedal inside the vehicle.  After a few revolutions of the wheels, drivers and anyone else foolish enough to stand within throwing distance were all the same color as the bog.

An anchor had been permanently mounted in a nearby boulder so the vehicle would have something solid enough to winch to.  That anchor is all that’s left of the once famous Holy Cross Bog.

The Forest Service decided the area was causing too much damage to the environment and notified the 4x4 clubs that the Holy Cross City Trail was being closed.
