It just worked for me
Dude, I hear ya. It seems like I'm the one who always has to tell the morons talking during movies to shut up, etc. We no longer have backbones. However, I think the right course of action here would be for the campers to act all impressed, and ask to have their picture taken and get an autograph.dr_wu002 said:Why were the onlookers such cowards? if people cared so much they woulda stopped these morons. I'm sure a bunch of hikers coulda overcome two yahoos. Serious -- beat the hell out of them if you care. I would have. Americans are cowards.
That's actually a pretty good idea. "Hey dude, what yer doing is awesome, can I get yer name and address and phone number and stuff...?"WalksWithBlackflies said:Dude, I hear ya.

dvbl said:... I spot four rules which took a beating the last time I was there:
9. TRAFFIC: No person may operate any vehicle within the Park so as to endanger any person or property, nor operate a vehicle in excess of 20 miles per hour, or the posted speed limit, whichever is less.
--Lots of folks think 20mph is a suggestion
16. DISTURBANCES: No person may create a disturbance that impairs the enjoyment of the Park by others. Campground quiet hours are posted and enforced.
--Lots of folks can't shut up when they should. Especially when combined with rule #27.
25. AUDIO DEVICES: Audio devices such as radios, televisions, cassette players, or cellular telephones may not be operated within the Park.
--next
27. LIQUOR AND DRUGS: General laws of the State pertaining to liquor and drugs apply within the Park. Maine law prohibits drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places.
--yeah, good luck
I would guess these four rules above are regularly ignored, or at least stretched.

Mark S said:2- Parasailing. Please, give me a break. This kind of reminds me of grumpy townsfolk constantly going off on skateboarders. What do they do? They get together and enact a local ordinance saying "No skateboarding" and then tell the kids not to skateboard because it's illegal. How has parasailing ever hurt anyone except maybe the parasailers themselves? It's probably against Park Rules and Regs because of the drain on manpower it would cause for Rangers to be constantly doing SAR on these folks if it ever got popular in the Park. As an isolated incident ... who cares?
