This isn't really news...
When several of us NorCal 80s went through a few weeks ago, we let a large group of law enforcement and various legal-types (judges, dist. attorneys) and other "dignitaries" pass our group. They were evaluating the situation at Spider Lake.
The closure affects only Spider Lake and one of the bypasses for Little Sluice at this point...so the title of this thread is a bit...well, no...a lot misleading. The Rubicon Trail is not closed.
That said, if people continue acting like pigs, I wouldn't be surprised if they did close the entire trail.
A friend of mine came across many, many toilet paper "flowers" at Rubicon Springs. To make it worse, many of these "flowers" were within several feet of a number of pit toilets. Most offendsive part? It was during Rubithon! Shameful to say the least.
I always say, "people are stupid," but I really expect more from cruiserheads.
