He was caught at the site, found hiding in a cabinet. He was nearly overlooked because he is so small no one thought, at first, to look in the very small cabinet
As I recall, they found him because some of his long hair was protruding from the cabinet door.
I had no idea that the approach was like that. The Whole In The Wall Gang would have heartily approved.

How the h*ll did they get a bus up there? That road would have made that 6x6 weep...specially the narrow washout.

Yes, a deputy spotted a few strands of his hair coming from the cabinet. After his arrest he was taken to the jail in Independence, CA.

That's pretty standard for unused mining roads, when maintained for an active mine they handle all the big rigs ( i.e. bus), but after a few years and rock slides they can be close to or actually impassable. Here is a shot of my friend and I traveling 21 Road in western Colorado in 03', it was an old mining road and now a gnarly challenge for 4 wheelers. No offense meant to Bill, but if a Dakota made it, it's not that bad.

None taken at all Sarge. In fact, except for two spots I believe a good two wheel drive could make it up there. The old Dak does a good job but has it's limitations for sure. It has the limited slip diffs front and rear but it is a big vehicle compared to a jeep or my Mighty Mite. The Mite is what I wanted to take up there but it's 110 miles from the house and that would have been a long drive for sure. I did take a wrong turn and it got really rough. I got spooked a couple of times before I was able to get turned around and head back out. With 252,000 miles on it I have to be careful what I try to do with her.

Sounds like our logging roads here. They go from handling two full trucks passing each other, to after twenty years they are a foot path.

This photo essay is not at all what I expected. I was thinking VC in a spicer hole with an AK muzzle protruding. This was much cooler than that!
