APRIL FOOLS?

Between 8pm Mar 31st and 5pm April 2nd, not one, not two, but three vehicles got themselves stuck whilst driving on the Copper Haul Trail - apart from all the carving up on the way in and the big holes dug to try to get them out,  by the time they got out on the 4th, the "rescue" vehicles had carved more tracks and made more big holes!

These photos have been sent to Douglas.hnatiuk@whitehorse.ca of the City's Parks and Rec Department, with a further request for gates to be built this summer to keep wheeled vehicles off this trail in winter, although given the amount of empty beer cans in the back of both trucks it might be safer for everyone using the trails to keep the gates closed all year! Please support the gates, and Douglas, by emailing him and asking him to get something done to protect this trail.

Red extended cab Nissan SE V6, Alberta Licence Plate PWU-072

About 2.5 miles in, not exactly stuck, more marooned between two large holes in the trail where the vehicle had been dug out of soft patches. Sadly, appeared to have a dog drop chain in the back.

Red & White Ford Bronco, chains on rear wheels, Yukon Plate EPM 03

Well stuck, about 2 miles in.

Dark Blue Subaru Outback, Quebec plate 479 THB

An expensive vehicle to have stuck 300 yards beyond the quarry entrance, although it's still carved the trail, and the owner appears to have tried to dig it out with the windscreen scraper.
