You know, the pink ribbon that marks preassigned camp sites? Whoever is responsible, change your stakes and make sure campers remove them when they arrive. My second day at BM 2003, I opened up the bottom of my foot on a remaining stake....after the tape was removed. These are the stamped thin metal stakes with a flat head, that are easily hidden under a millemeter or two of dust. Yes I know about shoes, but dont always use them when im in the general area of my camp.

While the pain added a new twist to my experience, The limping part really got on my nerves!

That would be the theme camp department.

DPW is only responsible for the wooden pegs that pop a sidewall tear in your tires and the steel fenceposts that whack you in the head.
