Not a good place to go anywhere on halfmoon crk

This entire area is in sore need of reworking and ban fires. With all the dead trees all along half moon crk it is a disaster waiting to happen. No one is taking care of the area. There is no water in any of the cg. Dispersed areas are overrun and worn out. The road is constant traffic to the trail head and they line up for miles down it. People rush up and down putting everyone as risk. Insane how this has been allowed to get to this point.
