You have to be crazy to go on Forest Service roads in the winter. I will just look at this as a failed attempt to win a Darwin award.

Right, but was the road identified as such on the GPS? Lots of unpaved roads in northern michigan stay open if there is a little snow because so many people drive them, they look like big dirt roads. But the instant any serious snow hits the road becomes impassable.
I was out two tracking with the forester in the summer, going down logging roads and I kept going and going and it kept getting worse and worse, and I eventually stopped and turned around. If I would have been a few years younger I probably would have kept on going and been miles away from anyone or anything. Probably what happened here, went from oh, this isn’t too bad, to well, it’ll probably get better to it doesn’t matter because we have a cell phone, to hey, I’m stuck! With no cell phone!

It’s hard to say how good the road GPS’s are. I guess like everything else, GPS needs to be idiot-proofed though.
