The End of Mile 36 37 38

[narc]

The bears have taken over, thanks everyone for NOT CLEANING UP AFTER YOURSELVES.

Huh??

[whatitdo]

Not cleaning up after an outdoor event.

Very poor for the people attending and the people that threw the party.

On a similar topic: I thought that the amount of garbage left at Popkum after Apex was a bloody eye soar the day of Summer Break. Not sure who's responsibility it was to clean it up after apex, but it was fucking disgusting.

I always try to at least put my garbage in a plastic bag so it can be easily disposed of at outdoor parties.
Garbage in nature makes me sad. :(

I heard about this a couple friends were camping and they were told to stay away from up, there to many bears.

I'll have to smack around my friends that go those parties all the time.

I went up Friday afternoon.
My friend had only been to Mile 38, so, as we got closer, I told her I'd take her on a tour of 36 and 37.

Blockaded.
Large, dirt burms and logs across the access roads, with "WARNING: DANGER" signs posted, and a Grizzly Bear warning sign.

Just as we got to the bridge, a Ranger came across and put his lights on. Nice enough guy. Asked us where we were heading. Told him Mile 38 to camp w/ friends.
He tells us he needs to warn us about a Grizzly Bear sighted in the 36/37 areas. Said they just barred the access that morning.
Seems some irresponsible people throwing "RAVE" parties up there weren't taking their garbage out.
The Grizzly had been sighted numerous times around there, looking for food in the garbage.
The bear had already been drugged and relocated. Twice.
_THAT'S_ why the area has been "closed".

The party I went up for nearly never happened.
The Rangers were stopping all vehicles going up, and once they saw the gear, they threatened to confiscate it all.
Smooth, fast talking on the parts of the organizers got the Rangers to let them go ahead... after three of them gave up their driver's licences.
The Ranger said he'd be back Sunday afternoon, late, to check on the site.
If there was any damage/garbage, they'd be taken to court.

The Rangers, the First Nations Squamish, and the Czechs (the ones who left the signs saying they "found" the place...) are all Royally PISSED at the disregard partiers and Yobs have shown the area.

So, now the crackdown.

Was "Safa" the last party, there?

Hope not.

Glad I was there, if it was.

Frosty
(amazing times, up the river)

One bear mauling can ruin your whole decade.

Whatever happened to...

KEEP IT TIDY
LEAVE NO TRACE
DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS

Oh yeah, that's right... they got appropriated by promoters and record labels and no longer have anything to do with their original meanings.

Fucking ravers.
