The fight over the fence

A week ago, I mentioned the ongoing battle between locals and the Forest Service over access to a road into the desert. The rangers put up a sign, people drive by it; they build a barrier, folks tear it down. Last week, the Forest Service put a fence across the clearing at the head of the road, cutting off all access from the paved road. And the next move ...

Well, today, there's a law-enforcement ranger truck parked where the desert road leaves the paved road. Yep, apparently, somebody cut the fence.

And the games continue.
