Social Media. No imagination or desire/ability to explore (study patterns to find lesser known areas) People all end up at the same place. I often wonder if these people actually enjoy themselves or if it is only about the photo to post and the bragging rights. I certainly would not want to brag about being an idiot unless there was a certain amount of humor in the story and I certainly would not enjoy a day spent with hoards of people no matter how many flowers there are.

Thinking on the bright side, I'm darn glad these idiots are all going to the same place.

To stop a stampede, the old saying was shoot the lead cow, but in this case just tell them where the fresh clover is.

My wife is a botanist and loves native plants.
One year on Carrizo Plains during a heavy influx of turistas who were trampling over plants following each other around I almost had to restrain her in the truck to keep her from civil disobedience.
Humans evolved as tribes.....as soon as you assemble more than a tribes' worth brains/behaviors go crazy.

Reminds me of one of my grandfather’s analogies…
One boy, all boy
Two boys, half a boy
Three boys, no boy at all
