Default First rule of four-wheeling

As an exploration geologist, I spent a lot of time four-wheeling in the wilderness. The number 1 rule of jeeping was not to do it at night. I only broke the rule once. Twisted the rear driveshaft in Utah and had to drive up a steep trail at night with two-wheel drive. On some switchbacks, the headlights were black. That's because they shined out on nothingness. The trail was next to a 500ft cliff.

A father and son were killed on Monday, when their Jeep went off a trail at night and plunged down a cliff. The father's body was found 300 feet down the mountain, and the son's 1,000 feet down. They still haven't found the Jeep yet. Story: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/new...-killed-plung/.
