How's your grammar?

Oh, she's just fiiiine... but gramper passed last spring.

Very nice. Whenever I see idiots who have to post their useless opinions on something that has nothing to do with the thread I look for the ignore button.

Kings English, please.

Yeah that was me. Normally it is cowboy hat as well but accidentally left it behind. That is what pisses me off the most they harrass the evil gun owner who cleans trails as he goes. I picked up over 1000 cigarette buts and several dozen cans and an untold number of plastic bits and pieces. The number one rule my kids have at the campground is that we leave it cleaner than we find it. After the camp is packed up they each have to find at least 5 pieces of garbage on our site. It takes awhile sometimes. But I carry a grabber and a plastic bag more than I carry the gun. The heat is why I open carry I refuse to be hot just to cover up. I would love an open carry group. I will take a turkey to deep fry. My work schedule changes here shortly so I have not booked any more weekends until I know it.

 

[youngda9]

I too am in NE FW. That is a great and close location to camp. That was our first time.

Wow, reading an interesting thread and along comes mister better than you and derails the whole conversation. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry for the inconsiderate actions of some people here.



Oh yeah. And just one more in a long list of reasons we need negative rep!

Now that the purse swinging is done with , if we do group outings on this board, I'd be in for a group camping experience. My son has been asking to go camping recently anyway...

It'd be a good opportunity to get to know some fellow gun owners, and get out there and lend a good face to the 2nd.

It does add to the discussion. If your writing is legible, more people are likely to read it. It only takes 5 seconds to do a spell check. I think what you have to say is important but your grammar makes it hard to understand the point you are trying to communicate.

I could understand his post without difficulty. Your continued harping on the point just makes you look bad.

BTW, I would be interested in joining the OC camp out.

 

[MtnBiker6510]

I thank you for sharing your experience. I also, would be interested in an OC camp at Chain o Lakes.

Did you get the Ranger's name? I don't think he should be working for the DNR anymore..

 

[williamrights]

I just received an email response that amounts to very little at this time.
Mr. Hoogland,

We have received your email regarding the situation that occurred at Chain O' Lakes State Park. Please know that we are taking this matter very seriously, and have forwarded this email and your original email on to management staff.

Sincerely,
Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

William,
Good to know they at least APPEAR to be taking this seriously.

 

[seadoodr.]

His face would turn bright red and then after much huffing and puffing his head would explode is my guess

So being a Nurse makes you a Master of the English Language ?

To the OP I understood everything you typed and respect to you for the way you handled this mess .

Dear Mr. Hoogland,

Your recent inquiry with the Department of Natural Resources has been forwarded to me for a reply. I want to reassure you that I have addressed your concerns. I have discussed the issue with the staff involved. I am confident it won't happen again. I have also advised the rest of the park management staff about this issue and how it should be handled. I hope you will continue to visit Chain O'Lakes and feel free to contact me at anytime.

Was this the same manager you spoke to at the park?

 

[williamrights]

Yes it was the same.

 

[nick89302]

Good. It looks like it was handled. Obviously, he isn't going to discuss any corrective actions he has taken with the person who complained. However, he has put himself in a position where he has stated it has been handled and won't happen again. If it does, it opens him up to scrutiny from his boss, a position no one wants to be in.

I'm still up for a night or two at Chain O' Lakes, although Potato Creek would be closer for me.
