Repercussions of Big Timber camp ground ruckus linger
An August incident at the city camp ground in Big Timber drew officials into a dispute over juvenile misbehavior and police response. Glen A Blackburn of Christmas Tree Farms in Rodney Mich lodged letters to Governor Babcock the highway commission and Mayor Henry Klindt accusing inaction. The correspondence includes his account of cars driving through the camp at night rocks and apples hurled at trailers and deputies failing to stop the drivers. Blackburn urged omitting the camp listing from the state highway map until the situation improved. He traveled from 11 p m to nearly 2 a m to Laurel after leaving Big Timber and urged travelers to be warned.
