That’s honestly an appropriate post. It’s just a good habit to get into. Exact post but with a pond and somebody swimming and the public loses their fucking mind.

Could be from anywhere on a cover resource. That’s the devils garden tho.

Buncha California dudes in here thinking it’s the Modoc, sound like they’ve never seen the endless sagebrush, ponderosa, and cinder roads of the Deschutes.
