Don't let everyone know!
- solardev 3y agoLol, I know, I really struggled with "should I even mention it... they can already get pretty crowded..." But at the end of the day people are going to find these sooner or later, and if people (especially technologists with resources and connections) can learn to love the outdoors more, maybe there will be a trickle-up effect for government and representatives to manage them more for recreational uses? One can hope. I'd rather gently welcome people into the outdoors community and encourage best practices (LNT, etc.) than try to exclude them and make it all elitist. It's our public lands, after all. If interesting, there was a related discussion about this (awareness vs overcrowding) a couple weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36481279 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36481279
