the public just needs to observe the rules.

 

That is the issue in a nutshell-  I've noticed a sharp decline in the willingness to "follow the rules".    Started gradually some years back but has accelerated rapidly.   

I've also noticed many of the "hosts" at campgrounds are no longer willing to correct the offenders with people willing to get violent over any small thing.    Can't blame them- especially when if things go sideways law enforcement can be hours away....

Very well said SkyP. It might not be the right way but with the short tempers

of other people out there ,better safe then sorry.

I can’t say as I blame them. Dismayed by some of the things I’ve seen this past year.  Sad to see some of my favorite haunts included on the map, but it had to be done. Just another one of my favorite places that’s been loved to death, who'd a thunk an area that large could get trashed so relatively quick? Thank Instagram and the like. This will be next to impossible to enforce, hopefully the majority of people will read and heed.
