Sounds like they are having a hard time responding to calls made about the incident.  ??? Great message that sends.

Possibly they were up all night to the am sun thus were tired & hung over.
At that point the campers had no backbone to clean up after themselves.

A not too far away high school has some students smoking just off the school grounds.
8-10  empty smoke packages laying on the ground & butts.

A city garbage can is only metres away :o
