Quote from hikerboy: “bsp is a special case in that governor baxter mandated the park be kept forever wild. different when management is handed over to the private sector, whose main goal is to turn a profit, not preserve a natural resource. ” Totally agree!

Quote from AnotherKevin: “g00gle: You're going to find that a lot of the people around here think privatization of the parks is a terrific idea. The tenet of faith is that anything government does can be done better by private parties. I sometimes suspect that the belief extends to law enforcement, the judiciary, and diplomacy. ” I wouldn't hazard an argument against the idea of privatizing in general, probably some serious potential for efficiency when people (or corporate entities) are motivat…

Perhaps, a little late, but... I'm a having some good laughs in this thread, but my goal isn't to bash that other sandbox. I'll leave that for the more experienced folks. For the record, there are some great people over there (though, thankfully, many of them also seem to be members over here.) And I did learn a lot during my time over there. Now, would one of the mod's please take away my access to these damn smilies? I think I've put one in every effen post I've made today!

Quote from Drybones: “Quote from Tuckahoe: “Man I can never seem to get the teeth marks over there. I must be doing it wrong. ” Post this and see what happens. ” I already know what happens... appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…1e4a1abd1de3c5bff32220d29

Quote from Da Wolf: “don't know why y'all are whinin' about whiteblaze. i'm still posting there. never any problems with moderators ” LW, I've seen your posts over there. You're mean and you sleep with a pistol... Of course you have no problems over there (or anywhere else, for that matter!)

Read about some of the same stuff from other states, and even the feds, a few months back. Didn't care for the political overtones in the article, but the article was a bit sobering. nytimes.com/2015/04/02/opinion/our-land-up-for-grabs.html

I accidentally fed an Alligator while passing a White Blaze - does that count?

Quote from jimmyjam: “And thread drift is ok- it's what we do. ” Yeah, I can't wait for the movie... Wait! I see what you did there. Well, I already feel better after reading this thread and browsing around the site. I thought maybe I was just being an A-hole over there. I like that other site (for some of the people and the great info) but it's very cool to find a much more relaxed environment instead of - well, some of you already know. As for those that hike together, hell, I'm just hoping to…

For some reason, I notice some pretty familiar names from another popular site - yet nobody ever told me this one was here!?!? It only took a few posts to realize the temperature was much warmer over here. Plus, there seems to be a mean ol' nasty Alligator lurking in that other sandbox...
