“Great Security”

Reviewed 25 January 2013

My guess is that Shad V (see "preferential treatment") was one of several firemen from Reno/Sparks area. If my guess is right, then he doesn't have a leg to stand on regarding being kicked out of the campground. The firemen were playing loud and offensive (vulgar) music late into the night. The group ignored several warnings prior to the police... More
