Memorial Weekend Ruined
I just left Refugio State Park hours before the spill and there were many campsites that were set up or were setting up for the Big Weekend. Refugio Oil Spill
Forum Discussion
The two (Refugio and BP) oil spills can hardly be compared. Refugio 21,000 Gallons vs BP spill of 200 MILLION gallons. EXXon Valdez was 11 million gallons. Yes there was a lot of law suits and some were false claims and the same was true in Alaska and will be true in California. Fact of life America is burdened by a bunch of bums and crooks. There could have been a lot more legal claims but they were not filed. Many people were put out of business or hurt so much that they will never make up for the loss. Millions of animals and sea creatures were killed or sickned. The damage continues. We need the oil so the price is paid.
