  • right...makes sense. Such a bummer that people who come here to "enjoy" the wilderness are so instrumental in its destruction.

  • I'm totally disheartened that the nature loving or are they just fun loving (?) public will go into a closed area without a thought of the consequence of what their presence and disregard for the law does. Campers move barricades, camp in a closed area and build campfires after they've passed the 6' signs of NO CAMPFIRES. At $1000 fine for entering a closed road & $5000 for a campfire you would think the Sheriff's dpt or USFS could earn the $ just by giving out tickets to hire someone to patrol each road: Naci, Plaskett & Willow! This week alone they could have made @ least $30,000. That goes a long way in our faltering economy.

  • The wind really came up hard on Sat and Sunday. Hope everything stayed knocked down.
