Intentionally misleading/confusing signage to increase sheriff departments revenue
Brooker Creek Preserve的点评
点评:Locals please be careful. Terribly confusing signs right on the entrance. Stepped two feet past the horse trail gate to read the signs and then found the correct gate and hiked it before being stopped by Officer Cox of the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office. First thing he asked me was if I could read or not. Told me and my brother we would be arrested if we didn't provide our personal phone numbers. Will never recommend or return without major changes. Seems like this preserve exists as a publicly funded private back yard for the wealthy estates that surround it. Should spend less tax payer funding on the various surveillance cameras and more on easy to interpret signs like literally ever other preserve in the area. Unwelcoming, not family friendly, and honestly not worth the visit. Would highly recommend Starkey, Morris bridge, Possum branch, Lettuce Lake, or even Myakka if you are looking to experience Florida's amazing natural scenery and wildlife without the disrespect and harassment from local law enforcement. Stay safe everyone
翻译:当地人请注意。入口处的标志令人困惑不已。我跨过马道大门两英尺去看标志,然后找到正确的大门,然后徒步走了进去,却被皮内拉斯县警长办公室的考克斯警官拦了下来。他第一件事就是问我识字不识字。他还告诉我和我弟弟,如果我们不提供个人电话号码,就会被逮捕。我不会推荐这里,除非进行重大改革,否则我们不会再来。这个保护区看起来就像是周围富人庄园的公共后院,由公共资金资助。应该少花点纳税人的钱安装各种监控摄像头,多花点钱在易于理解的标志上,就像该地区的其他保护区一样。这里冷漠无情,不适合家庭出游,说实话,不值得一游。如果你想体验佛罗里达州令人惊叹的自然风光和野生动物,又不想受到当地执法部门的不尊重和骚扰,强烈推荐斯塔基、莫里斯桥、负鼠支流、莱特斯湖,甚至迈阿卡。大家注意安全。
