False evacuations at Blackhawk | 9:50 p.m. Aug. 2, 2008

Blackhawk campground was erroneously evacuated due to a non-offical person encouraging peple to break camp and leave. This ruined a family reunion campout by casuing my family to evacuate about 40 people at 1:00 am Saturday. Now we wish we had asked for more information, but who is going to ask questions when there seems to eb a semi-emergency. I will next time. Phone calls to officials verified that teh evacuation was not real or needed at Blackhawk.

We were at Blackhawk Campground when it was evacuated the night of August 1st. The Forest Service says it was a non-official evacuation by a "panicked camper," but I have spoken to several people who say it was definitely ordered by the campground host and they spoke to her face-to-face about it. There was no official Forest Service evacuation but refunds should be forthcoming. I have more information. Email me at blackhawkevacuation@cableone.net.
