Now, now, Bob West! There you go provoking temper tantrums again (have we not talked about this before??). I know its tempting and incredibly easy to bring out all the red unhappy faces (too bad they don't have one with tears) But a fine upstanding Elitist(one that seemed to find time to participate in rescues...strange sort of elitist) such as yourself (I bow in your presence) can exhibit much better restraint when messing about with the unwashed masses (also known as commoners}. How dare you offer a unique and unrepresented position that actually addresses solutions rather than more complaints??? Don't you know that this is the Land of Rights? (They have not gotten around to adding all of the personalized entitlements to the Constitution, but I just know that they have saved a spot for one that allows for each and every citizen to hike anywhere anytime...It's a Free Country, after all). Cost? Oh, yeah, remember that 10ft pile of trash I told you about? (down there off the PCT near Lake Warren) Well, the beauty of it is that it will probably be there 100years from now welcoming me like an old friend, 'cause A)It's granite, by golly, soz nothing lost, nothing gained....except a 10ft pile of trash B) It's a National Forest, so no permits & no rangers to disturb the "Piece" -- that is, Piece of Trash. So you just shut yer gob about all this, Bob, 'cause there aint nothin' to worry about (in a few years, we will all grow so accustomed to those WAG Bags adorning the trail that they will almost seem welcoming buddies)
Your Friend always,
Bee
