Martha McLean was one of three women who saved the integrity of the Santa Ana River. The Army Corps of Engineers wanted to line it with concrete. Along the ride yesterday we saw numerous homeless encampments they seem to find the wild river an ideal habit. One thing is for certain they are thanking God for the drought. They are living inside the river banks. Numerous articles have been written in the local news lamenting the plight of these street people.
Anyone interested in taking up a collection to have a Darwin Award ceremony for them and the politicians and bighearted humans who dearly love and care for these individuals?
Later up the river I saw a group of regular city folks playing and picnicking down river from these encampments. I wonder if the same people who care deeply for the street people camping along the river care to alert the people down stream to beware of high levels of human excrement and possible drug paraphernalia in the water?
The bike ride was fun and easy. We had a BBQ and nice time visiting. The parking lot flooded when someone backed over a hose bib. The Park Ranger couldn't shut off the water main, because I'm guessing he didn't have the key to the pump house. I'm sure there was a reasonable explanation for why the park ranger parked and sat in his vehicle and watched the water flow full blast.
