In the old days the gate used to be
locked every night at our resort. Our resort is actually two very
large parking lots. During the summer everyone and their
grandmother does raft trips on the Salt River. The parking lots are
used for the 40,000 people that use the raft service on some
weekends. It is actually tubing not rafting. The masses are hauled
up the river by bus and then float by tube back to the huge parking
lots. On the way down the river they throw as many beer cans and pop
cans in the river as they can. This means thousands have to be spent
at the end of the season to clean up the mess, but they actually do.
Also it means rings, watches, and other metal things get lost. So
the winter is the time the metal detector guys come to find the
diamonds and gold.
With dwindling resources and
complaining fishermen the gates at our resort are no longer locked at
night. The net result is the sneakers can come in at night. The
sneakers like to steal Honda generators. Two have been stolen so
far. To thwart the sneakers I have put a special alarm on my
geneator that squeals if the sneaker moves it. Last hight at two in
the morning someone roared out of our camp ground at high speed. It
woke Kadizzle up and sounded like it may have been a failed sneaker
attack. Since we are in Arizona and anyone can shoot at anyone for
any reason it would be fun to shoot at a fleeing sneaker, but the
Kadizzles don't have a gun. This morning we await the campground
gossip to see if indeed the sneaker was foiled.
No reports on sneaker problems, but someone did provide the day's entertainment. A car was parked on the road to our camping area and set on fire. No one knows why. More than likely someone stole the car and needed to get rid of it.
