I wonder if he envisioned the hordes that would be descending on our National 
Parks?  I also wonder if he planned on people who would NOT, absolutely NOT, 
obey the rules no matter what.  Hard to factor those types of people into the 
equation.  You DON'T have to have a motor home everywhere (or even anywhere) 
-- you can shift your little self over about 1/4 mile to another camping 
site) in the National Parks System.  I think what happened here was an 
overwhelming use of an area NOT designed specifically for the task, the 
system didn't work because, quite simply, people didn't work with it.
