Re: [RC] [RC] finally, an end to illegal fees - alexis_mills
Dawn, I wish you hadn't been so rude in your
private post to me, but you're right about the parks being
public. Nevertheless, they were established under different guidelines
and, as you noted, managed by different agencies to provide visitor amenities
that require constant maintenance, hence the fees.
Regarding your second message, the Sky Islands NRA
was opposed because these fragile ecosystems had already suffered from overuse
(usually by people who never got far from developed campgrounds), and it was
thought that instead of trying to attract more people to an area already
suffering from visitor impacts, it should be protected, not
advertised.

HUH??? Better check your facts. National Forests, National
Parks, and National Wildlife Refuges, along with BLM lands, are ALL public
lands. They are managed by four different federal agencies, but they are
all public lands. Just because National Parks are more regulated and
charge a fee to enter doesn't make them private land.
