[pct-l] Why did they go exactly?



Here's a little humor for ya'll. These are comments left on Forest Service
comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips. Obviously
some of these must be jokes but the scary part is that rest are probably
serious.

"A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a way
I can get reimbursed? Please call."

"Escalators would help on steep uphill sections."

"Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands."

"Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more
likely to chase animals."

"Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse."

"Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go
uphill."

"Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the
wilderness to rid the area of these pests."

"Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views
without having to hike to them."

"The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please
eradicate these annoying animals."

"A McDonald's would be nice at the trailhead."

"The places where trails do not exist are not well marked."

"Too many rocks in the mountains."

"Need more signs to keep area pristine."
