Report Details
As noted in the mile 98 report of today, the phantom atv operator came across China Creek and proceeded south until he reached the snowy plover habitat restoration area, where he turned around and backtracked. I did not see any sign of his entry/exit from the drive to the China Creek parking area and suspect it was closer to the Christian Camp private drive. It is somewhat odd that he followed the path the Fish and Wildlife staffers use to hit the wet sand.
