Rowdy Campers Ruining The Fun For Everyone
Once again, it’s a few idiots that are ruining it for everyone. Over the long weekend, the McLean Creek area, west of Bragg Creek, was totally trashed by off-road vehicles. Wildlife Officers say the recreational area was ripped to shreds with unprecedented damage. Campers left mounds of beer cans and garbage in the bush, and turned a grassy meadow into a mud pit. Let’s be clear about one thing though - I can almost guarantee you the damage wasn’t done by regular, responsible users of the area. It was most likely done by a bunch of rowdy campers that had one intention…..to party their faces off, whatever the cost. Now it’s inevitable changes will be made and off-road users will likely be severely restricted. Some are calling for a ban on alcohol, or a complete ban on off-road vehicles. One thing I don’t understand; if everyone is so concerned about what might happen at McLean Creek over the long weekends - why don’t they have security making sure everyone is well behaved? Yes, I know that costs money, but think about how much money it already costs to clean up the area every single year.
