The OHV officer said they where trying to get the sheriff to enforce it, I

worthless worried more about the doughnuts and coffee running low than about
the forest crumbling down about them, when the Tujunga and Arroyo Seco
Ranger District's where combined 2 years ago they named the new Ranger
District "Los Angeles River Ranger District", this abbreviated is L.A.R.R.D
or LARD yep that's them worthless leaches suckling on the teat of Uncle Sam!

> A prime example of their mis-management is the fires last fall. At the
highet of the fire season, one of if not the worst on record instead of
closing the forest or increasing patrols, they continued with bisuness as
usual, do nothing unless the place is going up in flames. Who could have
prediceted that a fire would have started in San Gabriel Canyon on Labor Day
weekend? anybody that knows anything about the angeles forest that's who!
They said there was no money for extra patrols and closing the forest would
have been unpopular, but they found 25+ million to fight the fires and more
after for enforcement of the closure that was like closing the barn door
after the horses got out.
