Back in 1974 or so I was working in the valley. My freind got drunk and ripped the door off our tent cabin, We took another off a vacant one and replaced it on ours. Several weeks later the rangers came looking for some dealers and guess what, we had their door #. When they knocked sure enough we were burning one. They took us to jail for the night.In the morning the jailer woke us up by running a cup along the bars(just like in the movies)After grilling us for awhile they called our boss and he said to let us out as we had to work the lunch shift. The LEOS said they did not care about pot smokers but they wanted us to rat out the people bringing in "Pounds of cocaine and heroin" We said yes and they let us out. And now 45 years later I still have not seen "Pounds of cocaine and heroin" but if I do I will give them a call...

The rangers sent me to jail in SLC and while waiting for my bail they had me with about a dozen prisoners in "quarantine" where we could hear the guys in gen-pop around the corner.
They were watching a movie.
Lawrence of Arabia.
A film I know well.
Out of boredom I began predicting the dialogue that they were about to hear to my cellmates.
Then said cellmates started yelling the lines around the corner to annoy the other prisoners.
It worked.
Nearly started a prison riot, and the COs couldn't figure out what was going on.
(good thing I made bail)

Excellent! Right up there with the Fish classic "Like New, Lo Miles," one of the best stories we published when I was at R&I.

Brilliant! Sums up the attitude toward climbers back then.
Dirty Mini was also around that time. What were some of the other ranger names? Russel?
