Sounds like today (Friday, July 3) has been a rough day for big four-wheel-drive vehicles  around here. KKTV reports a woman’s SUV rolled into Bear Creek after she got out to let her dog out.

Also today, there was some police scanner traffic about three or four Jeeps getting stuck on a road above the Air Force Academy. I didn’t catch which road, but I didn’t get the feeling search and rescue had any plans to rush up there.

UPDATE: The Jeeps will be stuck up there all night, after destroying a 50-foot-wide wetland and knocking down several trees on a road over a dam, I’m guessing either Northfield, Nichols or Stanley reservoir. Sounds like the  drivers got a ride down, but they can count on a visit from a forest ranger first thing Saturday morning.

At the risk of sounding smug, here’s hoping the forest ranger brings his citation book.
