I’m betting that you didn’t read the thread…

Three of the people ticketed were in the water when the DEC showed up.

Tell your friend the sheriff to make permanent signs, or AT THE LEAST signs that are out of reach of drunken horny 17yr old hick-spawn.

By chance did they have belongings on the land? Because if they did that is cause enough to write a ticket.

And as far as signs go,this is just like the CANADA SUCKS THREAD,ignorance of the law is no excuse. If you don’t want the ticket then maybe you should check the rules.

One sheriff made it sound like a setup akin to a speed trap.

His words: “Yea, we put up those signs every year before it gets warm even, but within a week they are all torn down. Its shit for y’all, but thats not the problem.”

> Now, trespassing is trespassing, I can respect that. I took our tickets and BS’d with the agent for a few minutes. My only gripe to him, and in general: There is a 4’ x 6’ kiosk / board in the parking lot. It bears a map of the creek, “no alcohol” warnings, and an example of the yellow “private land - proceed no further” sign. NOWHERE does it state the **public land boundary line on the map** - nor does it bear any statement about the waterfall be specifically off limits, **even though** all of the agents admitted that waterfall is the largest draw.
