I'm with you Ted !!!! It's been two weeks since our annual family camping trip to a remote lake. I have never seen so many people in this area ever. They left beer cans and trash everywhere, had no respect for others, loud music and more. They had cars parked three and four deep on the launch ramp, you could not even turn your rig around to launch, and when I asked them to move their vehicles so we could launch, they turned mean, I returned the favor with a couple of hand signs. The good thing was by Sunday 9 am, almost most of then gone.
Too many stupid people

Yup, I’m of the opinion it’s the new world order up/over/down here. Here in Central Oregon we’ve been inundated to various degrees for a little over a year straight. I’ve been doing a little work in the woods to the east of here lately and the woods population of humans is definitely more all week long than years past there too.
What is interesting is the number of long termers/transients hanging on into winter. Used to be once the irrigation districts shut off the main canals in the fall, (there are several here that run across the public domain) people mostly moved on. Last couple of winters the campers/camps have persisted all winter long.

Interesting. I do believe there are more people full timing it or trying to out of RVs / tiny homes. The tiny house / off grid fad has definitely lead to an increase in people trying in our neck of the woods.

So I have been researching and pondering a FWC for several years now. Ive admired the community that this site and others like it consist of. I picked up my 2016 Hawk yesterday and am excited begin some cool adventures. I too have seen a huge increase in the numbers of campers in our area. Its is exciting to be able to pass by the crowds and continue on into better areas.

Saw this referenced in another forum, re: campers leaving trash.

Interesting response may be worthy of consideration.

This paragraph from that article caught my eye....
Mailing trash to Khao Yai’s offending tourists is not the norm. According to the Bangkok Post, the standard punishment for littering is a fine or jail time. Those caught littering can be fined up to 500,000 baht (about $16,000) and or be held in jail for up to five years per Thailand’s National Park Act.
That's a much greater penalty than I've heard about around here.

Never work here.Some people think it's their right to trash the country.
And don't give a CRAP.
