Big Sur road closures

[KLTH19]

This is why we can't have nice things...

Roads closed in Big Sur to reduce illegal camping

Multiple roads have been closed in South Big Sur to reduce the amount of people camping illegally

Add this to the illegal grow and booby trapped Old Coast Road last week and the Big Sur back roads are becoming a bit of a no go area. Sad to see this.

They need to put some gatekeepers in like boulders and big holes. Give the private prop owners a gated road. People are the real virus.

The thing that struck me about the report was that 'canping' was by definition illegal in this area. I'm not sure if that is just bad reporting (which wouldn't surprise me from this outfit) or something that came from the Forest Service. All in all not a good sign.

There are designated primitive sites and a lot of private land. The campers were not respecting the boundaries, tearing down barriers, using non designated areas and illegal fires. Going into private land. A real mess.
