I just got back from a great three day trip to WMWR. BEWARE the over zealous park ranger. I arrived at about 10 pm to Doris Campground where my buddy already had a site. As I approached the site I noticed a police looking SUV parked very nearby with his lights out. As I am setting up camp he flips his lights on and drives to a neighboring site. He sees several climbers drinking beer and makes them pour out the beer pursuant to Refuge rules. THEN he comes to our site tells my friend he saw him pour wine from his vehicle into a steel container and proceeds to search my friend's vehicle without consent. He pours out two screw top wine bottles, and takes a corked bottle with him, telling my friend he's cutting him a break by not citing him with a ticket. The next night we arrive late after climbing. Ten minutes after we get to our site this guy drives up about 100 feet away at a stop sign with his headlights blinding us. He stays there with lights on us for five minutes until a car comes up behind him. FYI
