I agree. It's the way this place is laid out.... It borders a river and private land. With parking right in the middle along with a body of water. Someone was already parked at the access point to walk a long distance in and I wasn't going to chance tromping on their hunt. The walk from that spot is about a mile in and you hit the river. Which I've made the walk only to have someone come in on a boat from the river side or still walk in on me. I get it... It's public land. Had I saw the guy I would have tried to wave him off. I'm in a climber. I know public land is a crap shoot and you deal with it. It played out the way it played out. I just wanted to open the discussion.
