These are actual comments left on U. S. Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips: - “Too many rocks in the mountains.”
- “A McDonald’s would be nice at the trail head.”
- “All the mile markers are missing this year.”
- “Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.”
- “A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call.”
- “The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.”
- “Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands.”
- “Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals.”
- “Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill.”
- “Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.”
- “Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them.”
- “The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.” Adopted from http://www.lovetheoutdoors.com/camping/
