When I am out of the blogging loop for awhile, and read a load of stories, there seem to be strange juxtapositions. Here are two stories, one about “not enough” use; the other about “too much” use. The common denominator seems to be “not enough money.”
I think we should be able to do better. I would call it a “third-world” approach to recreation- except that that would be a disservice to the third world.
Here’s the “not enough use” story: Forest Service to cut some services at old camp areas, here.
And one on the Conundrum Hot Springs area, currently big in the press for the dead cows, here, “Forest Service: Conundrum faces bigger woes than cows: Popularity of hot springs is affecting the beautiful valley.”
