I think there are much more terrible things going in our world than some nut leaving the boardwalk and walking around a geyser. Guess what, people were walking on that land long before it became owned by the federal government.
I guess I'm somewhat of a radical when it comes to the National Parks. We the people own those parks yet we get no say in their operation and are forced to pay an entry fee. Rangers are not elected and are unaccountable to we the people yet they set the rules and policies for the parks, whether we agree or not. It's like the police creating the laws and enforcing said laws, which is absurd.
Sounds like you've never been a volunteer in a national park to really know what goes on behind the scenes. I really dislike it when I hear "we own the parks and we should be able to do what we want". Our parks are maintained and have rules to keep our parks for future generations. If there was a free-for-all attitude our parks would be completely trashed.
2gypsies, your words are so very true. A free-for-all in our parks would mean total destruction in short order. I am saddened by negative actions from some of society. Look around us, ignorance is abundantly present.
Enjoy our national, state, and local parks while you can, for future generations may not share the same privilege.
