Update on my Forest Service Ticket

I see that the Forest Service in Quicene visits this blog, so the forest service should know what they did to me!

The time before last when I hiked Lena, Ranger Sommers or Summers wrote a ticket and put it on my Jeep for "no proof of northwest forest pass".  My LIFETIME INTERAGENCY PASS was clearly displayed on my dash.  So my intention was to appeal.  But no dice, the court date and the ticket were sent to my terminally ill spouse who is on oxygen.  I guess this is because his name is on the vehicle registration.  Well obviously my spouse is in no condition to miss a day of work and go to Tacoma to fight my undeserved parking ticket.   So I had to pay the damn $55.00 fine in spite of having a LIFETIME INTERAGENCY PASS.

Thanks a lot blind forest ranger.  Next time look for the LIFETIME INTERAGENCY PASS.  It's blue and it's shaped like a credit card and your lovely (I mean it, he is a nice man) volunteer at Hoodsport does not have any hang tags nor has he ever heard of a hang tag for that pass.

Also a court has just ruled that the NW forest pass is not authorized.

 I should have gotten a reward for hiking up to Lena in the pouring rain on a Monday in April, not a ticket.

There were some suspicious looking folks at the lake who were very evasive and had no car at the trail head.  What ever they were doing, they got away with it.

The United States of America vs My Spouse

The idiotic forest service sent the court date for *MY*  Lena Lake parking ticket to my husband and they spelled his last name wrong.   The ranger did not see my LIFETIME INTERAGENCY ACCESS PASSS on the dash so he put a ticket on my Jeep for not having a NWforest pass.   Since my spouse's name is the first name the on Jeep registration I guess that means the ticket is now his.

Do I write the preliminary motion to dismiss in my name or in his misspelled name??
I guess I will have him write it in his misspelled name.  It should be easy to fight considering the fact that he did not even park there.

Me and my spouse sure are going to have a fun conversation when he gets home tonight.  I really wish they had written the ticket in my name this is going to totally freak out my spouse.

I may just have to pay the ticket even though I have a pass since it would cost my spouse a day of work and make him sick to go to court. So a big FU to the Ranger for not seeing my pass and then sending a ticket to my terminally ill husband. Thanks a lot!  I guess it was raining too hard for him/her to actually get out of their truck and look for my pass before they printed the ticket.

Screw it, I'm just going to pay the undeserved ticket.  $55 is not worth the stress.   BTW for just $10.00 my spouse could also have a lifetime interagency pass.

Pay to hike up a motorcycle rut in a clear cut? No way!
