Camp ground clean. However the trash cans were full and they did not pick up! Was there M-Sunday.
Also would like to see the hitching/ties at sites like 14 removed. They are dangerous to horses. They are so low and the metal tie ring can hurt a horse, potentially killing a horse. Very dangerous! They put up signs that you had to tie to rack… not high tie to trees! For sure those who make that decision as well as design of tie rack are not horse people!!!!! Would like to see these low tie racks removed. Poor poor not horse friendly design!!!!

Horse high tie areas need lots of work. Trails need to have rotin trees cut before they fall on some one
