It Should Have Been a Wake-Up Call

I like to go to the desert or forest to write my posts. It is beautiful and peaceful most of the time. I park at forest service trailheads or the entrances to state wildlife refuges. I said most of the time because these areas are used by drug addicts, drug dealers , and drug growers. People involved with drugs like to do their thing in privacy so after I am at these areas for around five days the sheriff always comes around. He asks if I'm all right and says someone called in and was worried if I was ok. Sometimes the sheriff is nice and sometimes not. The sheriff in Kittatas County has always been nice. The last time someone reported me in Kittatas County I told the sheriff it was the drug dealers and growers who are calling him because they don't want me seeing their comings and goings. He said he would pass it up the line and thanked me.
In King County the sheriff was intimidating, threatening, and accusative. I lobbied key people that the sheriff was involved in the drug trade and the forest service also. I talked to the head ranger and he covered for the sheriff. This is the same forest district where the two women were murdered. The Seattle Times won't report this but they were murdered because they saw something the drug dealers or growers didn't want them to see. This tragic murder should have been a wake-up call but the drug corrupted system covered it up.
It used to be you had to worry about trailhead theft from your parked car but now you also have to be concerned for your very life. Be careful and take safety precautions in these areas: carry mace, go in groups, avoid and report suspicious activity, stay on trail, take your dog if allowed, take your cell phone, always let someone know where you are going and when you will return, and be aware of your surroundings.
God forgive America.
