Naked Man, I guess your faith in Mike is a nice gesture, but it sounds like you're trying to convince yourself. You say only 3 incidents this year does not prove anything. How many more incidents does it take to raise your suspicion? I also find it curious that these vandalisms started to happen immediately after Wizard "publicized" the JF3 trailhead. You say Mike "displays a sense of responsibility regarding his property" - wouldn't that be a reason why he wants to discourage people from finding a better and viable alternative to parking at his ranch? I'm not positive that it's Mike Castro committing these crimes, but I do think there is a clear and undeniable motive on his part. There is also evidence that would lead me to believe that it is him, from Wizard spotting him out among my friends' vehicle about the time it was vandalized to Jobe following motorcycle tracks back to his Ranch. Let's put it this way, if it's not him, he should at least have a good idea who is doing it. It's not like he lives in Manhattan. I'm sure he knows the few people who venture out around there. Either way, he has some explaining to do. And personally, I find his AZ Mike, his board spokesperson, to be suspicious in how he presents Castro as overly sympathetic to getting patrols back there (as if Mike would care how safe it is outside of his ranch) and how he ridiculed Jobe as being in the "bermuda triangle."
