DogDamned Fakebook. What a scourge.

People with an off-roading group on Facebook said it was their party, and that they spent the next day cleaning up the wash. Members of the group did not respond to our requests for an interview.

(Mesa District Ranger) Matthew Lane, meanwhile, said the trash pickup isn’t the main concern.

"Not a safe thing. I mean, I’m sure people had fun down there, but people got hurt. People got hurt from this event, and we’re lucky nobody died, so please don’t come and do this," said Ranger Lane.

Officials with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office say no arrests were made, and at this point, they say they don’t know who the responsible party is.
