It is worse than Disney World. Who wants to deal with this? I have heard there are calls to shut down permits for a few years for all the trash left behind and other damage. The President is a fink. |

Trash is expensive stuff like tents and air tanks and a crapload of things nobody wants to carry down. The pics look like our southern border. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I have seen some articles lately on "overtourism." Not just Everest, but all kinds of places. Too many people causing too much wear and tear. Too many crowds. Kind of why I am in no rush to visit Vegas again, everything everywhere is getting to be like visiting Disney. The President is a fink. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | There are people down here trying to put a stop to camping on BLM land. They want to force all the RV's into parks. My god, can't even camp out in the desert without paying someone. Lot's of trash on this side of the border though. I found a pile of 4 backpacks a while back, stuffed under a creosote bush. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5104 | I can't tell you how much pictures like that disgust me I get the idea when it comes to liking to go to a place in town, an event, a gala, at a tavern, wherever, where there are lots of people, the more the merrier - even though personally that's not what floats my boat. Still, though, I get it. In the great outdoors though? I just don't get it. Yesterday went to a place with my dog to hike that I knew we would have to ourselves. And we did, and it was great.

Used to like taking the dog out on a snowy day when I figured I would have it to ourselves because nobody else would be crazy enough to go out in such weather. Sometimes it worked, sometimes I didn't count on there being a few other people in town with the same idea. One thing, thought, you met better people on that kind of day. The President is a fink. |

You have a source? I follow Kate Cloud on Youtube and can find nothing on Google about this. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

SORRY. I must have been sober or something. On Sept 30th Kate Cloud uploaded a video ABOUT a missing hiker. |

You just caused me about 12 hours of anxiety. Congrats, you are now on my XXXXXX list. I wish I could type what I'm really feeling. I know Kate Cloud, I follow her, I've talked to her. It's like you reported a member of my family missing. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
