Some People!

So yesterday my son and I are hiking in the mountains and this brown Toyota truck drives by us and there are two young guys in the truck. Now here is the real problem I have! How is it that some people can get behind locked gates and drive around in a Wildland Park while others have to walk, bike or ride horses. This truck was a crewcab with a topper, it had a national park pass hanging off the rear view mirror, and there was also some kind of parking lot pass “LL” and then an expiration date on the pass. Not sure where that pass was for. License plate number was BKZ-8148. I tried to phone this in but just got recording of office hrs. This pizzes a guy off!!

Any time I have got through a locked gate I use a key. The rules do not apply to THEM !
You have to realize that if they are park workers , they would not be expected to walk in , the same as if we had a job like that .

I'm pretty sure this is not a Parks truck. I don't know what they were up to as they were a little hesitant to pass us. For all I know they may have been hauling in a camp for hunting season, but who knows for sure!

You can call the RAP hotline on weekends when local branches are closed to report things like this, I did it twice already. If it's time sensitive they'll contact a CO on duty that will contact you or they will tell you where to send your statement and all info so they can investigate it.
They als have an app for cell phones now where you can report land abuse:

We need more upstanding citizens like yourself.

this.....i'm guessing they're studying pine beetles, or brown bats, or the number of naked hikers they find copulating on the trails.

Can't trust anyone who puts that kind of grille on their truck

The NP Pass is just that, and the other pass is a City of Calgary residential parking permit...

I believe the "LL" placard indicates the vehicle is registered to a resident of Lake Louise. Anyone residing in a national park community is required to display these in their vehicles.

I have done work inside gated off areas to the public to access sites before, Had to check in at the forestry office and get a key. It's summer and lot's of summer students out there doing work. I passed people walking but I was at work, didn't bother to stop and chit chat.
If I were guessing they are there for a reason other that getting away with something.

Some people just don't believe that any rules apply to them.

Call them in on Monday, when the office is open. You have enough info that AEP or National Parks (whichever the case) should be able to find these morons. It would be even better if you have video.
