The U.S. Forest Service warned the public that homemade spike strips and booby-trap devices have been been placed along Forest Service roads in southwestern Oregon.
Booby Traps On Southern Oregon Forest Roads
Reports were received that individuals encountered spiked boards, some hidden beneath leaves, on roads in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest in the Taylor Creek and Shan Creek areas.
Facebook users have speculated that there may be illegal marijuana operators in the area, but no official comment has been made on the reasons.
Aside from spikes, people have also come across wires strung across roads and trails in the area.
These booby traps can be almost impossible to spot. The agency requests anyone with information about the spiked boards and similar things to contact the Grants Pass Interagency Office at 541-471-6500 or the Wild Rivers Ranger District at 541-592-4000.
