It’s annoying the shit out of me.

Nice try, suckers

[Core Shot]

No camp stoves? Annoying.

[oldnew_guy]

People are dumb enough to let a wilderness ranger look inside their backpack?

“I just have weight sacks in there, have a nice day.”

[riser4]

People are dumb enough to think it's ok to camp without a permit in wilderness areas?

[Meadow Skipper]

People are entitled enough to think it's ok to camp without a permit in wilderness areas.

Fixed.

Haha, I'd like to see them accuse someone of camping in the Sierras for carrying a camp stove but no shelter - or at least no sleeping bag. That would be pretty hard core. The TH where this sign was - Horseshoe Meadows - has a reputation for being frigid at night.


The whole issue above is partly due to permits being so hard to get, so people just say F it and go anyways. What's amusing is there are a million places they could go where wilderness permits are easy to get but people all flock to the same super popular areas.

I’ve done it half a dozen times this year, no permit needed in the majority of Wilderness areas.

Yep - Colorado has a *shitload* of Wilderness Areas, and I can only think of a couple that require permits...

It is a lot easier to go over a 12K pass starting at 10K than starting from 6K, the latter with no water most of the way. Any time I've ever looked for a permit there was no problem getting one for Shepherd's pass, but I never tried it.
I wonder how the FS feels about blankets. I seem to remember that John Muir carried a blanket, some flour, matches and a pot. (There are various versions of this but for sure no sleeping bag, stove, or tent.)

Nice try, suckers

I'd gladly represent pro boner the 1st person cited for this who was not overnight camping by choice without a permit.

If I lived closer I'd call the ranger HQ and tell them where I was hiking and what was in my pack and ask them to cite me.

And I bet you'd take it all the way to the supreme court. FREEDOM!!!

I found this amusing-

Doesn't instill much confidence in Lowes security when the mobile surveillance unit is up on blocks.

Hey pal, you might want to park your car someplace else.

I cracked myself up by making up this joke today: My favorite Westerosi saying is "Who died and made you King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men?"

Nerd humor at its finest. At least that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it.

[chicken feathers]

I just witnessed a panhandler make change

When I drove a ski shuttle for a few winters I learned to carry enough change to break a $100. A few times each season, some drunk tourist would say "I'd love to tip ya...but I only have $100!"
"Thats O.K... I can make change. So how much change would you like back Sir?"

Today I saw an ATV parked along a utility corridor.
The ATV had signs to identify it's use that said "Pole Inspection"

I just ran off some Jehovahs Witnesses who were at the front door.

^^^ Instead of being politely confrontational with the door-door evangelists, I play with their heads…

“Have you heard of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints?”
“I have. I follow the Eight-fold Path.”
“Huh?”
“I follow the Tibetan Buddhist Way”
“Hmmm, I don’t know anything about Buddhism…”
“How can you possibly be out here proselytizing for your faith when you haven’t done any competitive analysis? Do your overlords not provide you any SWOT training so that you can be an effective advocate? So what if you get your own planet when you die? I get Nirvana.”

Shuffling and mumbling

“Come back when you can put up convincing arguments that your faith is better than Buddhism or Baha’i.”

Never had anybody come back…
