What in Blazes?

[giggy]

I feel bad for the NHF&G, UVWRT, NEK9 & AVSAR folks who might get more busy.

this is the same old tired argument that get used all the time. I can't see any evidence that this action will increase SAR. Somone losing trail does not mean there is going to be this massive increase in unplanned night outs that require SAR.

This is stunning. You have a well-defined foot path, an obvious sign of "hand-of-man"(HOM). You see a little blaze of paint and think "oh, that just kills my wilderness experience". You walk around the bend to a stretch of trail with no blaze visible on this WELL-BEATEN PATH and think "now, this is wonderful; I wonder if any human has ever been here before?!"

The path is HOM!!! What difference does a blaze of paint make on a well-beaten path? OMG

Bravo! The absurdity lies in making natural wilderness an artificial construct.

NH, while I tend to agree with most of what you say - I can't buy the argument that someone is being refused anything based on skill level.

Yeah, I am realizing maybe its a pretty lame argument. I am still just amazed (like Forestgnome) at how a little paint can cause such a rukus!
