Does Miguels Close for the winter?

I have no cause.. every fine i have payed was my fault... Cops have a rite to police an area i have no problem with that.. im smarter now than i was 20 years ago...But the harrasment by them sux. pot or no pot they are coming in camps and searching... That makes camping in the red suck real bad.

There are 2 i see alot in the red proper both overwait and both talk with a studder, funny as shit having them yell at you
the outher is a lesbo cop with curly hair and a dog... If you see them you will pay something!!

My first ticket was from the woman.

The last one was from the stuttering guy.

Looks like those are the culprits!

The lesbo got us a couple years ago. I felt like I was in high school or something. They found a pipe on my friend and he got arrested. He had to pay an attorney to do his court hearing. They threatened to take me to jail because I was drinking a beer. We have had problems at Whittleton campground and on tunnel ridge rd. One cop that was giving us a hard time at whittleton came up to us yelling because we were drinking. He then calmed down and told us he is required to be a dick about it but he said as a rule of thumb, always pour your beer in a cup and keep the cans or bottles out of sight and you will never have any problems. Well, we do that now and have yet to have an issue. We also camp at Koomer ridge and all is good.

Yeah forgot about tunnel ridge. That's a big no no for camping also... Anywere that is popular has cop problems.. you don't have to be partying to have these problems. I have been woken up from tent more than once.. The last time was to give me a ticket for no parking pass.. When it wasn't even my car. I had to walk out and show him my car and open it to prove it was mine.. That's not cool at all!!! Be warned if you see these 3 cops they would rather give you fine, than take you to jail. As long as your cool. If not your going to jail!!

[CLIMBTRAD]

Ok so maybe I did have a cause. Cause I'm sick of the cops in the gorge!!!!

Ha ha, you guys should check out the endless army of federal officers in Yosemite if you want douchey authoritarianism...and there it's much harder to escape. They ticketed me once for slacklining in my own yard in Foresta!!

[CLIMBTRAD]

I'm jealous 'my yard in Foresta'. Can't wait to make it out their one day,and play with the rangers. But really I'm glad the cops are around. Just hate being woke up for no reason or having some dipshit with a gun sneaking around in the bushes!!!

my advice - always stash your dope behind a tree and throw your trash away as it is made. The beer can pile is usually impressive and makes for a good photo-op, but can get you in trouble.

I have always done these things. And more... Like I said I'm smarter now... And I'll say this again you do not have to be partying,drinking,smoking dope or doing your ol lady to get harassed.... Al you got to do is be their... If I'm not breaking a law what gives them the rite for a search... Happens all the time in a clean camp or drunken drugged out camp.. The best advice is not to camp by the road in the red river gorge ever....

Anyone know what your rights are if any when camping? Is it legal for a forest ranger to search your personal belonging without probable cause? I did a Google search but got no results.
