What do you mean "in the middle of the night" that type of thing has happen also durning the day. Haven't ridden a bike out in the desert lately but every year someone would end up in a mine shaft way back when. Although, I've never heard of a Jeep going into one. That's one reason you don't go over a burm if you didn't know what was on the other side. Those mine holes are all over the Mojave Desert.

Have a good day.

Back in the 80's we would ride our 3 wheelers in the California Imperial Sand Dunes, Buttercup Valley & Glamis by Yuma AZ almost every weekend. we would always do a slow ride up to the top of a razor back to see what was on the other side. Several times we found a rescue happening at the bottom of a tall dune from someone doing a jump without first checking it out. Ouch! People go crazy out in the desert, lots of drinking.Danny
