Mercy, Dale!

I have to agree that ten overnighters per night is a pretty small number when there are multiple natural areas to stop and camp.

And I think building a trail like the MMWT would alter and degrade the area far more than the current situation.

I would like to see the tight quotas opened up all over the Sierra, with fees charged to support more rangers on the trail to make sure people don't abuse the areas.

But I know the USFS won't be opening anything up anytime soon. They bring up that "need for solitude" every time anyone talks about access limits.
