Something seems to have been left out of this discussion -- it is illegal to drive off road -- the detour around the washout is not a legal detour. If you had not been driving off the legal route (causing damage in the process), your car would not have been damaged. Tire spiking is an illegal act of vandalism, but so is driving off of established roads.

If your travel in the SV, you probably already know how to deal with vehicle damage, flats, and other problems associated with being in the middle of nowhere. You probably also know what is or is not legal (whether you agree or disagree with the legality is another issue).

I didn't put out the spikes (I havn't been in SV in eight or nine months), and that is not the sort of thing I do, but I do have some sympathy with whoever did.

I have a feeling this message will really piss some people off.
