Reply #44: called them how? [View All]

I love the way folks are chastising ME over other peoples' irresponsible gun behavior because I didn't do anything to stop it.

Addressing your comment that I "should have called the Park Rangers"-- how do you propose that I should have called them? No landlines in the middle of the desert. No cell coverage. It's a hundred miles from anywhere. I don't carry a radio, and wouldn't know what frequencies the park personnel use anyway-- and that info was not posted anywhere. I doubt that anyone monitors the base station at night anyway.

It was about a 30-40 minute drive to Kelso, which is mostly just the old restored railroad depot and a couple of trailers, plus an hour or so to break camp. And Kelso, in the middle of the night? I doubt that anyone in authority was available. I likely would have had to go all the way to Baker, Barstow, or Needles-- all a couple of hours travel. And do you seriously think that the park would have sent someone to investigate a simple complaint? At night? I neglected to check your profile before writing this response, but I wonder whether you've ever visited remote western parks before.

How do you suggest that I "call the Park Rangers?"
