The sierra club has really had their eyes on the Big Bear area trails this year. All of the graffiti and trash constantly being removed from those trails isn't helping us, and the sierra club always goes for the low-hanging fruit and that staging area is definitely low-hanging fruit.
I stopped camping in the Big Bear area a couple years ago when the campgrounds filled with gang bangers and packs of tweekers from Crestline started stealing from campsites for a living.
