Wilderness 'abuses' surprise Morton

Minister tours area overrun by random campers, mud boggers

Renata D'Aliesio, Calgary Herald

Sustainable Resource Development Minister Ted Morton got a first-hand look at the damage being done by people spending the long weekend near Chain Lakes Provincial Park.
He didn't like what he saw as he surveyed the area known as Indian Graves, located southwest of Calgary and across a gravel road from Kananaskis Country.
The scene included a chaotic jungle of trailers, tents and vehicles, mud-caked riders roaring about on quads and dirt bikes and souped-up trucks bouncing in the distance, ripping through streams and bogs.

It's on the front page of the Herald web site if you care to read it all.
