    Liberty carries responsibility. A fact lost on most citizens, and even more lost on those with no stake (non-citizens), and a fact that scares the crap out of most humans.

    Well at least they can't blame mountain bikers for this mess.

    I erroneously expected land management to have a little more sense than the throngs of cidiots they allowed to ravage the parks. My bad.

    I am not sure I have seen more bad behavior from non-citizens than from citizens. Much the same as I have not seen more asshats on E-Bikes than on real mt. bikes. I would like to believe that one group is better behaved than the other, but I have no evidence of that.

    Asshattery, entitlement, selfishness, lack of common decency and respect for others and for the environment cannot be classified to one group or another.

    Meh...after reading the article, I'm going to say I'm going to have a lot more evidence of what's going on before I believe the writer. That guy clearly has agenda.

    I am sure. Many times, in national parks, the language I've heard from people dropping trash, shouting, running around off the trails, essentially being idiots...was not English. Not primarily Spanish, either, in case you think I'm referring to our southern border.

    It is most often French, closely followed by Asiatic languages. Take from that what you will. Or won't.

    Don’t know if this has been posted but JTNP was supposed to close on Thursday morning (tomorrow) but it has now been decided that it will stay open for the fee revenue it brings in.

    I'll take from it that it doesn't reflect reality, and is one person's skewed perspective. Citizens trash less than non-citizens? English speaking trash less than non? Respectfully, you are out to lunch here.

    French tourists, followed by asiatic language speaking tourists are the most to blame for the feces epic in the NPs right now? What about the OHV poaching, that as well? They all probably rushed over when they heard admission is free during the shutdown, I guess. Between your assertion that NPs can't be closed because they have no gate, and this whacky idea about tourists, you've slid off my list of reputable Park info sources, brother Mark. Cheers. :)

    The report was written as though they were planning to man the fee collection booths.
