I'm not sure anyone completely disagrees with you, but c'mon Chiefie, no high-horses here... we're all sheep in your book, right? You and Fatdad can relive your glory days in 70's when nobody else cared about climbing and you conveniently found yourselves alone on perfect little spots in JT and Yosemite that you thought no one else knew about? C'mon man!
Dingus and Skoon are right. Its not perfect, but it's better than anything else we got. It's better than anything in the rest of the world and although the Parks may be frequented by a demographic you find unapealing, they are still Americans and they have every right to. In order to accomidate this right, asphalt and rest stops are a necessity. Had we not thought up the national park system, then those beautiful places today would be condo tracks and frozen yogurt bars. I'd rather have a few bubbas enjoying nature than condos and yogurt bars...
Word!
