Popular Post BurningChrome Posted June 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2016 Was out fishing the area on the weekend and ran into a CO who was giving RVers their 2 week notices. She was posting notices on the RV doors if they were absent and noting plates, descriptions, etc. Seems like enforcement on the eastern slopes is taking another step in the right direction. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningChrome Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 This is great to hear! That's what I said. She mentioned the reaction was not quite the same from many of the RVers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Marc, Not sure if you will know the answer to this or not, or maybe someone else can chime in... What prevents someone from just moving their rig 2' to the right or left, as opposed to having to leave the area entirely?! I'm sure this info is somewhere on the inter web and as soon as I press POST, I will seek it out P That's what I said.

BurningChrome Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 The law is that they must vacate the area for 72 hours once the 2 weeks is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yeah did a quick search and I am unable to find that specific info on any of the AEP sites... I'll continue to look, but if you have a specific link that would be cool!! P The law is that they must vacate the area for 72 hours once the 2 weeks is up.

BurningChrome Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 I don't have a link but that's what the CO told me when I asked the same question you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 When we headed up on Suday we saw a big mega towtruck heading up. Will be a boon for the local towing companies. They have summertime and temperary CO's on working on this. There is funded for towing. Long overdue enforcement is starting to happen. What they are trying to say is the Public land is there for everyone not just first come. Talking to a CO they are recording locations and taking pictures of units. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailhead Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I sure hope we don't get any violent confrontations. I witnessed a very disturbing situation between a female CO and a drunk 20 year old a few years ago and this has a greater emotional impact than an open beer.

DonAndersen Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Trailhead, Similar confrontations are happening between OHV owners and others including the RCMP. At some point there will be violence. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angler Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 This is the best thing i've heard in a LONGGGGG time. Tow 'em all to the big flat on the SE side of the Maycroft rd Hwy 40 junction. Pack 'em in nice and tight. Put on a coupler lock. Want it back? Sign here. Agree that next time is a 3 month confiscation. Can't wait to hear all the wha wha wha about ruining somebody's summer long vacation or some such BS. Awwwwwwwww. Jee that's too bad, ya selfish d.head. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 FINALLY!!! Last year was the worst.. headed out with the family on a Tuesday to stay for the week and ensure we get a good spot. Counted 3 units left on premium river side spots within 2km.. no one there all week...they will be here on the weekend right? That's a NO, weather was crap so none of them showed up on the weekend either.. wrote letters to each of them and left stuck to the trailer doors on the Sunday we left. Key word SELFISH! Came back the next weekend, 2 of the units where still there letters still attached! No one there for nearly 2 weeks.. Gets my blood boiling like nothing else..

bigalcal Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I heard the same. A bunch were ticketed on Racehorse. The squatters will be choked. They have come to expect no enforcement and some have been in the same spot for 10 years. Up until last year SRD were to enforce random camping regulations. (length of stay, permanent structures etc) but now the CO's are enforcing. It's about time. It was put away for ALL Albertans and who are they to hog the nice sites for 4 months!! I wish I knew what the fines were..I bet they total less than my 4 month stay at a seasonal site at Dutch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningChrome Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 The RVs getting notices were on Saturday along Racehorse. Sure would be a shame if while they were "vacated" for 72 hours if someone else dropped trailers off for 2 weeks... And for anyone keeping track, that means those RVs have to be gone on Canada Day long weekend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Taco.....I've spoken to the guy there a few times..I wonder how he fared when that road was closed post flood? Marc...that would be awesome!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brokentippet2 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 The fact that they are allowed to leave their trailers up and leave is complete bs the two week time period is fine but what stops them from coming up on the weekend and leaving home for the work week and coming up for the next weekend prior to having to pull out. When you leave you should have to take your trailer with you. All teailers vacant for longer than 48hrs should be ticketed on a daily basis until removed. Just my thoughts 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekside Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Broken that requirement would make way to much sense!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 This is great news!!!! I would still like to see a pay to play system. Force folk to buy a random 14 day camping permit. This will need to be displayed on each trailer. Then set up zones so you would have to buy a permit for the zone you want. After the permit expires you cannot buy another permit in the same zone or the zone next door. You'll have to be at least two zones away. Or be away from a zone for 14 days before you can return to the same zone. All funds collected go to enforcement and running of the program. I hate to see more Gov but once the resource has been abused for so long then something has to give. My 2c 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigalcal Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Don...From what I have been told. random camping regulation enforcement has been changed from "forestry" (SRD) to the CO's. I even heard they had 20 CO's down south but that seems hard to believe. Anyway's something is being done finally and I applaud it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
