Key word in 38316 is other. Other persons or property. You can have willful and wanton disregard for yourself and your property.

Hehe!!! I wuz actually looking for the 'Malicious Acts' code. Seems that would apply to folks removing or destroying the signs and trail markers that are put up every year.. :D:D Maybe, just Maybe some of them would think better of it if they knew the penalties involved. :( Then again, Maybe the only thing they will understand is a boot up their ass... :eek:
mtadams 08-15-2002, 01:08 PM Now only if they would READ the signs.. Especially the ones that say NO FIRES!
