    Interesting conversation with Forest Service Ranger

    Good point, always best to pass on information to the local rangers if You see something like this in the event there may be a missing person etc…..Not in a “Camp Karen” sort of way but out of concern someone may have left for a day hike and didn’t return due to injury etc.

    Something Weird in the Forest

    Your family’s safety is job #1, leaving the area if things look and feel sketchy and reporting it to the Ranger in this case was a very good decision…..
