[pct-l] HYOH- campfires

[Sir Mixalot]

One of these days I'm going to petition Monsanto to develop a sterile poison 
oak seed that grows in more areas.  I can think of a few spots along the 
trail where I'd plant it.  I bet that'd be more effective than signs and 
rock barriers.

I worked as a custodian for a few years right after college and ALWAYS had 
trouble with people not heeding the bright yellow "Restroom Closed" sign I'd 
put up while cleaning, even when the door was also blocked by the large 
supply cart!  At least once every other day, I'd have someone ask me if the 
restroom was closed.  DUH!  I once had someone step OVER the sign to enter 
the room WHILE I was cleaning it!
So short of shoving the sign into their faces, or beating them over the head 
with it, I'm afraid I don't have much to tell you.  It seems there will 
always be people ignoring signs, no matter what you do or how obvious they 
are.
