Some of you may have noticed that in the past couple of months the Forest Service has made several improvements to the area around Bob's Rock--putting in a fence to channel parking, lining out some boulders with camping signs to curtail camping at the base of the rock, and more clearly defining the access trail at Bob's Rock.

In the 6-7 weeks since these improvements have been made, the fence has been vandalized at least 3 different times. Bob's is a popular climbing area--one that gets a lot of impact--and as climbers I think it is our duty to help the Forest Service manage the impact of this area. It seems as though the vandalism is happening mostly in the evenings and on the weekends. The Forest Service has asked me to keep my eye out for vandalism at Bob's and pass along any info to them. I would like to ask you all to help me. If you see anything or know anything, please let me know and I will pass it along to the Forest Service. Your identity will certainly remain anonymous.

Thanks for helping to protect our public lands.
