Warning: park rangers are keeping a more active eye than ever in this area, due to a middle-aged Asian man who posts his exact whereabouts here on Craigslist. The police were obviously tipped off, and I saw 2 guys get handcuffed here yesterday around 1PM. The windmills have been cruisy for over 50 years because of discretion, but it won't be much longer if you don't keep your mouth shut and blab about it on Craigslist. The best times to go now are late afternoon until around 10PM. After that, and the pushy older trolls start to get desperate and refuse to take "NO" for an answer. Be safe!
