LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. (AP) The moons aren't shining in the Orange County beach town of Laguna Niguel.
Sheriff's deputies told some 8,000 partyers to lift up their pants Saturday afternoon, shutting down the annual celebration known as ''Moon Over Amtrak.''
The yearly event that originated in 1979 has been drawing an ever-growing crowd of revelers who bare their rears at passing Metrolink and Amtrak trains.
About 50 deputies shut down this year's celebration because of complaints about public nudity and reports of public alcohol consumption.
Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says officials decided the event had gotten out of hand when some people took off all their clothes and some women started lifting up their T-shirts.
He says the crowd is dispersing peacefully and no arrests have been made.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
