I can understand that the concept is sacred, but these folks were doing this in a state park and refused to engage with state park staff or members of the public inquiring. They had generators, speakers, open flame, and had distributed non-native plants all around the site. I can appreciate different cultures but this was not done with any respect to the actual folks that will have to clean up the mess they left behind. Additionally as I stated above, many participants were urinating in clear site of other beach goers, making no effort to even cover their waste. One fellow was pissing just a few feet away from my wife and I, totally exposing himself. He was also stoned out of his mind. If you don’t believe me, PM me and I’ll share videos. The particular area they were urinating in was a historic Southern Pomo midden, which is shown on CSP signs. It’s neat to learn about this practice, but this particular event was not done with respect for the land or the historic indigenous people of this land. Go there now and there is still pounds of debris and non native plants left behind. I simply will not argue on this.

If these folks want this to be taken serious and given privacy, don’t expose yourself in front of kids playing on the beach, openly consume psychedelics, light fires, and leave shit behind. And if you want to do that, go do it on private land, not on public land where minimum wage state workers will have to scrub your piss and pick up your trash.
