Jeez, don't ya just hate it when your roads get blocked for 200 feet with debris and truck-sized boulders! I just learned its happened twice on the White Rim Trail since I rode it last summer.
In '96 on a jeep pass near Telluride I'd have been blocked (or buried) by a talus slide, had I started out only an hour earlier.
A couple of summers ago on a Grand Canyon access road on my Vic, I encountered two places where it seemed someone had deliberately placed a rock in the middle of the lane. Each rock was in a tight curve close to an auto pullover zone. There were no signs of natural rock fall in either place (I removed the rocks). Be careful out there folks!
