A friend of mine and myself had a similar (good) experience also with the local "rangers".
Right behind my home (about a mile actually) up on the South Mountain there is one of the old CC roads built back in the depression years.
Since it is so close,,and unpaved / unmaintained , we run it when we have the chance in our jeeps to look for game or just to get out of the house.
Well this one day we were on a mission to gather up some rocks for a border I was doing. We never got to get any though due to seeing piles of recently dumped house type stuff everywhere.
Looked like someone moved then everything they didn't want to move they loaded up and did a "midnight dump" along the road.
We totally filled the 10 x 10 x 2 trailer ,,,heaping, then figgered "keep going" and do a pick up to the next intersection, (10 miles or so).
Literally we picked up almost a ton of discarded household stuff, then all the other trash we got while just driving along.
Almost at the intersection we decided was the jumping off point, a ranger DNCS I think,,,came flying up behind us,,,stopped us,, then commended us for our actions.
Seems we were "reported" for "suspicious" activity,,,, PFFFT ..
The next part almost made me dump it though. We asked him (Ranger) if we could put all the crap in THEIR dumpster,,, he originally said no,, but I said "Well this could just end up anywhere ya know".
"We didn't HAVE to do this and it's only the "right" thing to let us dump it at the station". He thought a minute or two,, then reluctantly agreed to allow us to take it there.
Hit
Just doing what I / we can to keep this road the way it's supposed to be.
very thoughtful of you. Hopefully it pays off and they do not interfere with your future hunts in the area.
