Thanks for the reply.
No question some education apparently needed, though it shouldn’t take much thought to not toss beer bottles and leave aluminum grills as “souvenirs” of a visit.
Nor to totally douse a fire when a reservoir is steps away from the fire pit.

I find the same discarded trash articles around my neighborhood where I live.

For us we just can’t comprehend people choose to trash our fabulous nature or worse, burn it down (which they choose to when they ignore every basic rule of spending time out in the nature).

At the moment I am in touch with a friend in Edmonton, Alberta. What US news tells about the fire in Jasper barely scratches the surface of the disaster. Two things for now – It is expected to take at least 5 years to rebuild the town and the still out of control fire is burning into moss and peat which means it will continue to burn underground and probably blow up again in spring.

Let us hope nothing goes this far in our parks, though we are close if people don’t behave (Jasper lightning caused exacerbated by lack of rain and enormous stands of dead trees from pine bark beetle devastation) .

It is America the Beautiful, not America the Trash Can. As an old Boy Scout it is my personal rule to leave a campsite better than I found it.
