> This list is circulating among Forest Service employees. These are
>actual comments left last year on Forest Service registration sheets and
>comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips:
>
>
> "A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a
>way I can get reimbursed? Please call."
>
>
> "Escalators would help on steep uphill sections."
>
>
> "Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest Service needs to
>reduce worldwide population growth to limit the number of visitors to
>wilderness."
>
>
> "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."
>
>
> "All the mile markers are missing this year."
>
>
> "Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse."
>
>
> "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."
>
>
> "Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow in the winter."
>
>
> "Chairlifts 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."
>
>
> "Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike
>at night with flashlights."
>
>
> "Need more signs to keep area pristine."
>
>
> "A McDonald's would be nice at the trailhead."
>
>
> "The places where trails do not exist are not well marked."
>
>
> "Too many rocks in the mountains."
Enjoy
