I was wheelin' last night with my son and it was dark by the time we got back to the start of Pierson Park Rd. There were quite a few groups of campers, which makes sense since the weekend started. One group had a large campfire going! I yelled out "hey there's a fire ban" and someone yelled back "----- you". Couldn't tell if they said "thank you" or "f--- you" but didn't want to hang around and find out. I called Boulder County dispatch when I got home and they said they were sending someone to look into this.
There are FIRE BAN signs everywhere so I don't feel bad if they got in trouble. I live up here in the mountains and I do not want my house to go up in flames because some idiots want to make a fire. I also joined a Peak to Peak Hwy watch group and feel like I need to patrol the trails to help protect my neigborhood, so to speak.
I don't think these were transients, probably college kids or high school kids - but I'm going to keep my eye on the trails up here and I will report any abuses I find & I hope y'all fellow wheelers do the same
