Graffiti gets worse at Don Pedro "AGAIN"

[Phil]

Since February/March the graffiti has been getting worse and worse at Lake Don Pedro. It has now come to the point of slandering people and business's; (names with held to protect the innocent). One they use, and I can't believe a person would sign his name is Tim Mc Donald another is their initials TM. Now round up has been sprayed on Jenkins Hill large enough to see it from the lake in a boat; and filthy writing on the dock at Blue Oaks ramp and floating bathrooms and buoy's. If anyone has any, any idea that is honestly doing this terrible thing, please ask him or her to stop before the law catches him or her. It won't be a good thing. Bathrooms on the lake, private property, docks, on shore bathrooms, you would think a person would have better things to do ? This costs a lot of time and money to the lake, to sand, primer and repaint it seems continuously
Don Pedro does not have the man power to patrol the whole lake 24/7, so if anyone can shed a light on this or has any leads, please feel free to contact Dave Jigour at Don Pedro 852-2396 Etx#18. The person can not be a fisherman, if so, surely can't be a good one, with this much time on their hands, a little demented I would say.
Also again this year dead bass along side hwy 132 up by Rogers Creek arm of the lake. We had this issue a couple years ago, and here we go again. Now here is a person who must hate Bass !!
Please help if you can
Thank you
Phil

Yea Phil it is total BS, but while charging $14 for day use why the hell don’t they have someone at the blue oaks gates or even driving around? Been there been there several times this year and seen your wife one time. Seems to me the rangers get there late drive around and put tags on non payers and then leave. Poor management but still BS. If I see someone that looks like they are tagin I will defiantly check it out.

Yeah , my wife didn't start until a few weeks ago, she is seasonal and works mostly at the gate and cleaning up the campgrounds, she is no Ranger. The lake has I think 4 or 5 workers on the lake doing mostly buoys so we don't run into rocks etc. and repairing buoys and bathrooms. The gournds has I believe 5 Rangers, and I have no idea what they do ? Kinda like we have to police ourselves, unless you forget to pay, then their on you, heck even me, I have to buy an annual every Jan. (whatever)! At least I get senior discount haha. Still costs me $ 120.00

Thanks for the response

THis post won't help much, but since were dwelling on the lakes problems, Last year at low water there was tons of trash all over the lake, I took probably 6-7 trashbags of garbage out and that was only 1-2 coves.

It would be nice if we had an organization to help out, but that will take more than fishermen...the lake ...users need to help too.

Phil,

I think it is the infamous tagger BRUTH! Short for Ruthman... He is a mix of blood and crips!

Since he cant catch fish at Pedro he has gone to the bad side and tried to become an artist!

Seriously sorry you are having that happen in your backyard. I remember when BERRYESSA WAS LIKE Pedro. Sooner or later the crud finds the nice places.

As far as the Rangers, I am not a fan....
