I am posting this in hopes that the man they are looking for will see this and act accordingly.


Guy from Grand Forks, BC is wanted for defacing parks in US. Ideally, the guy should contact the National Park Service and find a way to make peace with them...they obviously know who he is and where he lives and should they issue a warrant...the next time he goes across the line to even buy beer...could end up in jail on his way to a federal court. And not be able to cross into the US again.

A better question might be: At what point in the hysterical record does newspaper rock and petroglyph stuff become graffiti?

Here's my answer: That point should have passed a few decades ago. As Mother Earth enters it's rapid exponential decay, mankind everywhere should now know better. It's all graffiti now and should be punished accordingly.


Phil, 2005 E450 Itasca Spirit 24V

So please tell me how much you had to do with "it's rapid exponential decay" with YOUR above EARTH KILLING purchases??????

The guy was an IDDIOT, clean the SH!T off and carry on!!!


Here's some responses to your "So please tell me how much you had to do with "it's rapid exponential decay" with YOUR above EARTH KILLING purchases??????" loaded question:

1. The ULTIMATE way to slow Mother Earth's exponential decay is human population control through reduction of human birthrates - on a world scale. i.e. The DW and myself stopped at 2 children ... one of our kids stopped baby production at two children ... and the other kid will produce no children.

2. Our stick house has a garden - to help with less food growing for at least ourselves.

3. Our stick house and RV's FW tank (before trips) get their water from a spring - so no large scale water supply infrastructure is required for most of our water.

4. Our stick house's sewer and RV's black tank (after trips) dump into our septic tank system - so no large scale sewage disposal infrastructure is required for most of our sewage.

5. Our stick house electricity and RV storage electricity come from a renewable supply electric company - so it doesn't need to burn anything to create the electricity that it delivers to us.

6. When home we don't run around a lot in a daily driver to live - we buy food (that which we don't grow) in large quanties to minimize trips and we order a lot of other stuff over the Internet so one delivery truck efficiently delivers stuff to many people all in one trip.

7. We heat our stick house with a high efficiency heat pump using electricity from the company in 5., above, that doesn't burn anything.

8. The newest of our 3 vehicles is a 2005 - so no excessive energy from Mother Earth is used in renewing our vehicles way too often.

9. Yeah, we have a gas RV - but it's a small one that didn't require a lot out of Mother Earth to manufacture, and we don't use it enough so as to excessively pollute the air, and it doesn't require a resource-intensive full hookup RV resort to camp in.

Less people - living a bit Lower On the Hog - are the final solutions to slowing the decay ... all IMHO of course.


I applaud you on your choices. I've made some of the same but, not as good as you.

Yes, it is sad what is happening to America. People don't know the difference between working for something and getting a free handout.

California all over, New York City, Boulder, Houston, Seattle, and many many other places all over the U.S. have already exploded.

The traffic photo in the link above says it all - doesn't it?

Here is a reminder, again: "Remember what the RV'ing goal is ... to be able to spontaneously camp at the end of the day in a pristine place with no reservations."


You are CRACKIN BUDDY!!! I have a home 45 minutes North of Seattle and anywhere in the state it's a short drive to get a nice campsite.

Yea sure we used untold resources building OUR dream home but from now on people really should not be doing so.

Truly pathetic. Good idea keeping your generation limited. Snip Snip

"You consciously did that to โ€œsave the earthโ€???"

Yep, sure did ... and to "save our long-term sanity".

The DW and myself bought raw land and built/wired/plumbed/HVACed our home on it. We also trenched 200-300 ft and laid the pipe to the spring, buried large guage wires from a power pole for 200 amp electrical service, and etc..

HOWEVER, it's becoming more and more impossible to do stuff like this with the population exploding everywhere.

BTW #1 - I do say this publicly ... to help folks maybe think more clearly about other lifestyle choices they might want to consider. In fact, we have younger couple relatives that have followed suit after trying suburbia/apartment life first ... and then following what I described that both ourselves and my BL did in developing our homes.

BTW # 2 - All in our current circle of relatives have stopped at two children or less.

Remember what the RV'ing goal is ... to be able to spontaneously camp at the end of the day in a pristine place with no reservations. :C

Very true, but this one drifted really quick from National Park vandalism to Social Security being an entitlement in only 3 pages. Could be a record. ๐Ÿ™‚
