Giving back... to the National Park

Volunteering for the clean up after shutdown and when National Parks reopen.

Calling for like-minded RVers!

    I'm sorry but I can't let this slide,
    You obviously have no idea what Me Too is about. Please read THIS. Are women being sexually harassed in the NP now?


    I assumed SCF was actually wanting to say "all about ME".

    I heard on the news last night that Joshua Tree NP was going to put up the gate - people (idiots) are damaging the trees and offroading. I truly don't understand what is wrong with some people.....

    Thanks!

    I know I need not say nor remind ourselves on this as the RVers and campers are the most caring and thoughtful of the park visitors, it goes without saying to follow the rules and current restrictions on these parks. And go one step further in taking in the duty to advise other people not to abuse their privilege.

    Park Rangers are the most knowledgeable people on environment protection and from time to time would rope some heavily trodden areas or do replant of decimated native species.

    Some thoughtless visitors, not being racist but the most notorious as I observe are the Chinese tourists, who would cross those well demarcated trails and climb beyond the yellow markers. My first duty is to call their attention and tell them gently -- and if they don't, with louder and angrier voice next time.
