So pfeiffer beach will reopen but minus bathrooms and trash collection? That seems really unwise, especially with an upcoming holiday weekend and the unlikelihood that PB will be visited only by "nearby residents."
Reopening all of this with no USFS presence or oversight is irresponsible. USFS has no law enforcement officer or patrol personnel
Milpitas Rd coming to The Indians (aka Memorial Park Campground) has been a trash strewn, uncontrolled party area lately. Four cabins were broken into last week and two sheriff deputies were out here again at2:30 am Tues morn for wild behavior at the campground
All of this with both the road and campground closed
The lock on the gate just past the campground gets cut off as soon as it is replaced
Once again, highly irresponsible to open all of this up with no oversight
Someone has to drive out a couple of miles to report crimes and it takes the sheriff over an hour (at least) to get out here
Also, the Guard Station (aka Ranger Residence) at The Indians was broken into last week and no one from the USFS has been out to inspect it since then
