420: And the kids say, "Why is the law always picking on us"

.
Why would the Forest Service consider not allowing disbursed camping anymore? Why would the Forest Service close camp grounds? Well lets see here...here is a tree that some "Little Johnny" had to carve his "420" into. Wow...that make you a big tough pot smoker? No one is impressed. As my father would say, " Little puke..probably couldn't add the 3 digits together to save his life". Well hey...look on the bright side, this is definite justification for the Forest Service to show why their law enforcement now has drug sniffing K-9 units. Do you think this camp site will be regularly visited now by law enforcement looking for drugs? I bet so!

This campsite had been recently moved out of by a group of young folks. Do you see the trash bag left hanging in the tree in the second picture? Now while I was impressed the fire pit was not a total disgrace, the local wildlife would have had that bag scattered all over the campground if a good Samaritan had not been there to clean up after them.

This is something I had never planned having to ever blog about. This is a post of a GOOD THING. Yes, I know they are out there, but it is so rare to run across them and we get so tired of seeing the bad, it was a GREAT refresher to run across this. This military gentleman had picked up all this trash that morning and was jsut settling in to enjoy a beverage in his campsite as he waited for some friends to arrive. Thank You!!! Beverage deserved! The USFS ranger who gave these pictures to me and told me this guys story with such excitement, also said this guy said he usually ran with Colorado4x4 group, but this weekend was waiting for the Big Horn group. I guess the Big Horn club was coming up the next day to help the USFS do some trail maintenance on FSR 370C aka Eagle Rock Trail. Thank you all!
