re: #4 Eclectic Cyborg

I know there’s a desire to make money, but we’re at that point where it seems some of these parks needing to be restricting daily visitors to a certain number and sticking to it. I know some places already do that.

It’s not just national parks. Some state parks get insanely crowded too.

I’ll be honest, I’m not much for state or national parks (other than beaches). I prefer to vacation in cities with really good restaurants (and preferably beaches). But there’s a not small part of me that does not like the idea of closing the public out of public lands. To borrow a line from TR:

There is nothing so American as our national parks…. The fundamental idea behind the parks…is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us.
