Sidewalk chalk

Maybe a little discretion could be used on where the the chalk is used. The campsite should be left clean with nothing left behind; it is your space when you are occupying it, but it will be someone else's when you leave. Have some consideration for the next occupant. I am ambivalent to the chalk thing, but I have seen some abuses where chalk art defaced natural areas. In most cases only temporary. The dye in the chalk can sometimes take a long time to dissipate. Sidewalk chalk is generally Calcium Sulfate, dye and maybe some proprietary ingredients. One time I drove up to my empty site to find an army of kids decorating the pavement. Not one square foot was left without decoration. The crew was called back by the parents who dispatched them to the adjacent site. My black lab got to rolling around on the chalk art and picked up a bit in his fur. I thought I brushed him well enough, but later I found pastel patches all over the inside of the RV. Some of the color was noticeable after a month on the lighter colored upholstery. But, if you have a dog, you are dealing with fur fluffs, paw prints, nose-prints and occasional upchucks. I'm not losing any sleep over sidewalk chalk. However, I vote on limiting heavy applications of chalk in shared spaces. What if this was not a public campground, but a private one where they hand you a sheet of rules when you check in? Should the rules for campground etiquette be any different? That being said, if sidewalk chalk is to be banned universally, pink Flamingos, garden gnomes and other assorted lawn decorations should be forbidden from campsites as well. Now, if you want something that makes people really grumpy, it is folks that shortcut through your site when plenty of paths and thoroughfares are provided for foot and bicycle traffic.
