One of the reasons we can’t have nice things.

Frustrating, upsetting and heartbreaking. Unfortunately some will never learn their place in this world.  Arrogance and greed wins again, and the earth losses. In the end, with continued acts of stupidity like this, we all lose.

 

“The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth.
All things are connected like the blood that unites one family.
Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.
The earth is sacred and men and animals are but one part of it.
Treat the earth with respect so that it lasts for centuries to come and is a place of wonder and beauty for our children.”

I just saw that before I came here. It just never stops. At least they know who it is.

What Julie and I saw last week in the Park made us sick with tire tracks and a vehicle driving cross country. I'd say forget about monetary fees and make them serve the full six months in prison.

 

Knucklehead is an understatement, but thanks for being civil, Mr. Sage.

It's jerks like those guys who ruin it for everyone.

Yes, but I believe we need to be more concerned about the damage to the flora, fauna, and environment. If our stewardship means anything, we ought to be strongly speaking for all around us that does not have a voice.

 

I'm so tired of the (this does not refer to you, fish more) self centered idea that agencies put regulations in place "just to stop me from doing what I want," instead of the broader perspective of regulations in place to protect the resources and each of us doing our part to make that happen.

do we just write the national park svc about recommending higher fines for this kind of thing??   $5k is nothing for those idiots.

I am rendered nearly mute with grief, rage and disgust by these thoughtless stunts of jackassery.

 

My only consolation is the earth will win in the end.

On another note.

Actor Pierce Brosnan was "ticketed" and a court appearance for being  out of bounds 

at the Mammoth Terraces in Yellowstone.

Faces a fine/jail time. Nice to see that privileged people will be held accountable.

 

Don't know what the answer is for Death Valley but visitors just can't be allowed

to go anywhere they want. At least these people who get stuck are caught and will face the music.

And that's not "banjo" and "harmonica"music in jail.
