The BLM put large boulders across the trail the next year to prevent anyone else from doing this.
But the craziest stuff (some unintentional) was what I did in the Atom. It has been on both the lowest (-282 feet, Badwater Basin) and highest (14,260', Mount Evans) roads in the US. Those were on purpose. One time I mistakenly moved the slider on my PC-based navigation too far away from "prefer highways" and ended up doing rock crawling on the Wagon Mound Cutoff of the Santa Fe Trail. When I got down off the mountain I ended up in somebody's pasture and had to get them to open the gate so I could get back onto a paved road.
