curator wrote: I am in no way defending the actions of the individuals but.....It seems unlikely that anyone would be able to clip the bolts at all. A lot of bullshit goes on in the seedy underworld of Fayetteville, WV. There are a lot of petty arguments, grudges, and personal vendettas. It's easy to sit in California so far detached from our little community and criticize what happens here. If you don't understand the subtleties it's best to just read the forum and stay silent.
Silent reading is basically what I was going to do with this thread, but particularly after your post, I feel like asking about one thing:
In reply to: The more people stay quiet the less these petty things get blown up and the less likely the park service is to catch wind of it.
I don't want to be mistaken as defending these guys, either: but I am wondering what the rest of this story is. Jay says that the NPS was on the verge of shutting down the park before these guys turned themselves in. But how did the NPS learn about these fake bolts? Is this what you are talking about with a "rumor mill", Jay? Or did park officials notice them on their own? (I have never been to NRG and don't know how much ranger-presence there is, etc.)
Apparently no one (aside from perhaps curator?) who is posting in this thread really knows all of what happened. I'd personally love to hear the whole story, if anyone feels like telling it, and iff entertaining me won't be harmful to NRG access. (But also keep in mind that giving us more information could be helpful for preserving access at other areas, where people engaged in similar petty conflicts may be able to learn from the mistakes here.)
[ And btw: did I miss something, or did you link the wrong thread in the OP, Jay? I could only find comments about this in this thread. ]
