Was stuck behind a "jeep convoy" maybe 7 or 8 of them on Rampart Range Road, going 10 miles an hour and not letting anyone pass. really nice of them!

going that slow makes the washboards 100 times worse, but they obviously owned the road.

I have to be careful nowadays also when I tell people I hunt BLM land.
I was in the Black Hills all weekend, just returned today. That is the kind of BLM I can get behind!
Matter of fact I bought a house in Hisega in the Black Hills.
So LOTS of BLM hunting for me moving forward.
Hell right our my back door I have a good uninterrupted 10 miles!!!
Move 08/31 and can't wait!
I may have to make up some new BLM t-shirts!!!

Sounds like everyone here is in the wrong. Jeep should have seen you behind him and moved over at the earliest safe spot to do so. On some of those tighter mountain side trails, this can take a while. Here in New England, it is pretty common to not encounter a large enough turnoff for miles. Flash to pass, and if they don't see you a quick chirp of the horn should get their attention.

You also should be cognizant of your roost while trailing riding in SxS's, trucks, jeeps, whatever. It can seriously damage vehicles and people. Most newbies (Raptor owners included) have no concept of the baseball sized rocks being propelled through the air at high speed from their rear tires. Everyone should start out on bikes, as you quickly learn the concept. If you blew by me on a trail, purposely kicking it sideways and blowing chunks of earth at my jeep/truck/ X3 Turbo, we would absolutely be having a conversation when I caught up.

In this instance, be who you would want to encounter out on the trail.

He said the guy sped up at every passing spot so that he couldn't pass. In this case, the A-hole gets what he gets.

Maybe we are all wrong, but do we at least get partial credit for waiting and giving the slow inconsiderate ***** in front an opportunity to do the right thing?

Or how about a grade point curve? If we are ALL wrong, then that makes us all right!:)

It’s called “entitlements” that’s how a lot of people are like these days. They drive like shit on the street, the high way, they don’t care about others and they act like it’s their road and no one can pass them or do anything. These clowns do the same off-road too.
