For the second time, riders have allowed a horse to get near a Shimek campground water hydrant and then hang its halter or bridle on it--frightening the horse and bending the water pipe. This time, it caused the pipe in the lower campground to leak, not just bend.
Here is the work that caused!! Hours of digging, changing the pipe, and refilling, topping with gravel and smoothing for the Shimek DNR crew! Time they could have worked on the trails or forest duties.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR HORSE WITH YOU TO THE WATER HYDRANT!! Tie it to your tie rail or trailer. CARRY A BUCKET TO THE HORSE BUT PLEASE -- NO HORSES NEAR WATER HYDRANTS.
If this kind of damage happens on a hot weekend, there might be no water for anyone at either campground!
