I know this post should probably be in the Stream section but I want to make the maximum no. of people aware as possible. I was parked at the pull-off next to the bridge under the 78 overpass this morning and was fishing just below the bridge. A Park maintenance worker yelled down to me that I was parked in a no parking area and was subject to being towed. I walked up and saw there were indeed new no parking signs there which he said were put there a couple days ago. Same thing on the side road just before the bridge. I read on the other thread that they are cracking down on all the unwanted visitors to the park, as well they should. The Park workers had gathered up several dump truck loads of litter that they had piled up into small mountains of trash waiting to be hauled away. The problem is that once again the pendulum has swung too far to the point that the ONLY legal parking area in the entire Park is now the big lot at the swimming pool. That's great if you're 20 yrs. old and don't mind walking half a mile to the overpass area. Personally, after 4 heart attacks, quadruple by-pass surgery and several stents, I found that walk through head high weeds to be a little taxing in the 89 degree heat today. As the Parks guy said, just another example of slobs ruining it for the law abiding folks. When the Hell are we going to get tired of this crap as a nation and REALLY start cracking down on the lawless instead of penalizing the innocent?
