It's too simple for folks to simply stay away because they are officially "closed." People are pigs! Absolute horrible pigs. Rather than respecting the rules and laws (even during a closure), they somehow justify a closure as a free-for-all and now they can do anything they want. So, they act like heathens, and what's worse, they act like "entitled" heathens. What's next? cannibalism?

X2. You see this kind of behavior more and more every day. Society is really starting to break down.

It stats at the top.

No, it starts at the bottom. It starts with you and me. If (you and me) did the "right" thing, then there would be no need for any kind of intervention from "the top."

If nothing else, those of us who cherish our National Parks, who cherish the great outdoors, and who want to continue to preserve this way of life for ourselves and our children, then all we can do is take our own personal responsibility ... leave your campsite cleaner than when you first arrived. Simple. If everyone did that, at lease one part of this world would be a much better place.

The one who throws a simple cigarette butt on the ground for someone else to pick up is just as guilty as these people who are destroying our parks right now by leaving trash and human waste.

Agree. I was taught to leave a campsite cleaner than it was when we got there. IF you have a way to get the filth in, then you have a way to get it out.
