Used to love hiking here to "get away" ...  I managed to accept & work around all the parking "mickey mouse"    that continues ( new rules every month). 

BUT then the new "ranger(s)"  (seem like city kids barely out of high school) in their white trucks became overbearing - they seem to think they have a right to drive up to you & speak thru their window at you while you walk down the sidewalk. & Later parking near where I was resting - clearly an attempt to assert their presence. 

This is the way it is now going in even the most remote parts _ even a "lifeguard" all year at remote Abalone Cove. It has an ulterior motive: to tell the people that the CA government is IN CONTROL of you in ALL places (whether local city or state) at ALL times. So I just QUIT hiking here.

 I think the residents are finally achieving their goal of getting rid of people. What a SHAME. I can easily LEAVE the state & enjoy epic hiking areas around the country & stay out of CA for months on end. 

BUT NOT all others are so lucky. PV used to be such a special place . I've been coming here since the MarineLand  days.  Key words: "used to be". Farewell. Enjoy the prison you created for yourselves
