Another photograph a bit closer. Basically more of the same.

Incidentally, to the immediate right of the behavioralists who took these photographs there's a couple of outhouses which contain toilets for the Off Road Elmers.

From observing the habitat for a fairly long period of time over the course of several months, for some reason Elmer never -- or perhaps only extremely rarely -- set fire to the toilets, the trash containers in the toilets, or to the toilet paper rolls provided by the U. S. Forest Service.

Usually Elmer will set fire to his own vehicles, to the trash, clothes, or blankets that he has in the back of his pickup trucks, or he'll set fire to the brush along the highway or to brush in the canyon floor -- which is pretty well isolated and contained, fortunately.

Also you might have noticed in this series of photographs the fact that Off Road Elmers will often leave their tailgates down, hanging out in traffic areas in an invitation that other Elmers come and collide with them. Various loading ramps that Elmers might bring with them are also often left laying in the road, in another parking space, or leaning up against Elmer's vehicles, also inviting other Elmers to come along and crash into them.

What's important about this behavior is the fact that these Off Road Elmers who engage in this behavior expect that by leaving such things hanging out, they're marking or otherwise controlling territory that they wish to claim as their own -- for however long they're at the Off Road Vehicle staging area.

As other Elmers come to the area, such territory-grabbing methodology is proven weak; new Elmers will often crash into them or will often even move them out of the way, setting them in other places where others stand a good chance of running into them.
