I opened that gate so I could get acces to Lake Rd and the area I wanted to use as an observation point,then closed it when I was through it. At the end of the day when I left,I found it open,the bungy cord dangling and a passle of dirt bike,quad and UTV tracks. Alot of vehicle entered the park before the visitor center opened. If their passes are supposed to displayed openly,I never saw one.
I am very appalled at the BLM's lackadaisical attitude. Especially when I spent a whole day off(and I only get a day and a half off a week)doing MY duty. The idea that I call the BLM comm center and get a blasé "oh,nobody out there today",really p i s s e s me off.
