(1) on Forest Road 69.... TODAY... a Checkpoint Charlie situation...
every vehicle is being stopped... asked for their papers... i.e.
registration, insurance, etc..
AND THEN, ASKED FOR MARIJANA?.. have you marijuana in the vehicle...?
7-8 LEOs, up to 12.. mainly young, (likely newbees)... polite, but rigid...
After asking about Marijuana, then, DOG is walked around... hit is
determined, Search... \
apparently, some 7 Police Dog Vehicles
FOR TODAY, the rec is to travel up 126, take a turn on 70, follow 70
all the Way to Welcome Home... (things likely change day to day)
(2) LEO INVADE AT NIGHT... a new scene... 10-12 LEOs come in at
Night, surround a camp WITH PAINT-BALL GUNS, etc...
Claim to be looking for someone.... then SEARCH, HARASS the
Camp... two nights now this has happened...
(3) LEOs, during the day... drive fast down Road.. several
vehicles.. then, suddenly roll up to a Camp... get out.. walk in,
Search the Camp.. and then, make Claims the Camp is DIRTY... CLEAN IT
UP... WE WILL BE BACK... issue a LITTER TICKET...
(4) they are (at times) RAIDING DROP OFF AREA... also...
OTHER GATHERING NEWS...
Parking is "tricky" but plentiful... a meadow where many,
many vehicles could park has some "technical problems' but this is
being worked out with Resource... who have been really cooperative...
(about a 1, 000 or so folks on-Site...) Nice, horseshoe shaped
meadow... good drinking water...
Town Meeting went well... things seem good with the Town, and the
Forest Service Resource were cool...
and QXXX, Front Gate , successfully shared the information
that LOCAL FOLKS, as well as Rainbowers, need to be very carefull..
make sure they don't have open containers... seatbelts on, their
paperwork etc... because LEOs are going after the LOCALs as well as
"family"...
[[this happened last year in Wyom 2008.. also]]
please have a safe road Home,
