点评:This is an amazing place with beautiful rock formations that you can spend hours exploring. Overall I really enjoyed staying here and seeing the sights. However, I ran into two issues (one major) while camping at site #28:
1. There is a large wasp nest in the base of the tree at this site. Depending on the time of day, there can be a LOT of wasps flying around throughout the entire area of site #28, making the entire site unusable. Notably, this nest is in the only shaded area of the site, so you have no usable shade. Once you bring food outsite, even more come out and they get aggressive. I got stung twice while trying to eat outside. I contacted the park about this by e-mailing the park manager (Gabriel Medrano) twice. He never responded to the e-mails. I also called the park office during business hours, but they did not answer. I left a voicemail, but they never called back. Clearly this park's management does not care about its guests. I later talked to one of the rangers. They said they are not allowed to disturb the wasp nest by spraying it or doing anything else due to directives from management. In other words, the park manager would rather preserve a dangerous pest instead of ensuring visitor safety and park usability.
2. There is a windmill near site #28 that makes a very loud and annoying metal grinding noise when it turns slowly. It is shockingly loud and at first I thought that there was some sort of metal fabrication factory or construction site nearby. This happens any time of day or night, depending on the wind, and can be clearly heard from most sites on the west side of the campground. It would be loud enough to wake someone in a tent, but probably not an RV. Again, I e-mailed the park manager (Gabriel Medrano) about this, and didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.
翻译:这是一个令人惊叹的地方,拥有美丽的岩层,您可以花几个小时来探索。总的来说,我真的很喜欢住在这里和欣赏风景。然而,我在 28 号营地露营时遇到了两个问题(一个是主要问题):
1. 这个营地的树根处有一个大黄蜂巢。根据一天中的时间,可能会有很多黄蜂在整个 28 号营地区域飞来飞去,使整个营地无法使用。值得注意的是,这个巢位于营地唯一的阴凉处,所以没有可用的阴凉处。一旦你把食物带到外面,就会有更多的黄蜂出来,而且它们会变得很有攻击性。我在外面吃东西的时候被蛰了两次。我通过两次电子邮件联系了公园经理 (Gabriel Medrano)。他从来没有回复过我的电子邮件。我还在工作时间给公园办公室打了电话,但他们没有接听。我留了语音留言,但他们再也没有回电话。显然,这个公园的管理层并不关心它的客人。后来我和其中一位护林员谈了谈。他们说,根据管理层的指示,他们不得通过喷洒或做其他任何事情来打扰黄蜂巢。换句话说,公园管理员宁愿保护危险的害虫,也不愿确保游客安全和公园的可用性。
2. 28 号地点附近有一座风车,当它缓慢转动时,会发出非常响亮和恼人的金属研磨声。它的声音大得令人震惊,起初我以为附近有某种金属制造厂或建筑工地。这种情况会在白天或晚上的任何时候发生,取决于风向,在露营地西侧的大多数地点都可以清楚地听到。它的声音足以吵醒帐篷里的人,但可能不会吵醒房车。我再次向公园经理 (Gabriel Medrano) 发送电子邮件,询问此事,甚至没有得到礼貌的回复。
