[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how people want nature served on a plate. But want comfortable and inexpensive hotels built up in nature, destroying the nature, so they can see whatever’s left.

As my patience for camping wanes, I realize there are just fewer gorgeous places I will get to experience. One of my kids insisted on camping last summer for a night I would have taken a hotel. We saw such beautiful old growth trees, beachside forest, glitteringly colored mushrooms and tiny salamanders in rocky moss beds. I was uncomfortable much of the night but it was worth it. Barring disabilities, it’s a choice.

The crowds are a disappointment, it’s true, but we are the crowds.

No one is asking for nature on a plate.  It’s just pointing out the fact that camping with tons of mosquitoes, potentially in 90+ degree weather, eating off dirty dishes and pans, barely being able to shower, being forced to use horrendously dirty bathrooms to poop or being forced to dig a hole and poop in the ground, or potentially being forced to stay outside in torrential rainfalls if you get t boned by Mother Nature is really a garbage idea for a ‘vacation’.   Yeah, have fun doing WORK on vacation and pooping in a vile facility where 200 other people use the same toilet everyday.

Awful.  And the only other option is to get ripped off for $500 per night at 1 star facilities around the parks.  Traveling in the US is a joke.[/quote]
