Snowmobiling in National Parks.

[gleaner1]

Okay folks, I just read that a great US national park only allows snowmobiling after: 1. registering to enter. 2. renting a governmentally approved emmissions friendly machine. 3. Must be accompanied by a park ranger "guide" (how about that job, a federally funded governmental smowmobiling park ranger guide dude, is this not the best job in the world that us tax payers are paying for, about 80 grand salary, so a few guys can be guided by a federal employee while snowmobiling?) If everyone in the united states could vote on keeping John Q. Parkrangers job as a snowmobile guide, I bet he would get about a big kick in the ass. I bet that guy somehow reads this, and hopes nobody finds out his name.

If you've ever been snowmachinin' with newbies, you probably would not want to do it again. They will get the machines stuck everywhere, stall them, wreck them, etc., unless the ranger keeps them on the roads and out of the deep stuff. It takes a bit of skill to run them in all conditions. I worked in the park for a few summers...it gets old after a while.

there is no real wilderness left mostly. some, but you probably can't afford to fly to it and use it.

parks are not like they used to be. the masses are using the parks now. someone has to control the stampede.
yea I can see the snowmobiles being controlled, along with horse riding use, day use, swim use, hunt use and rv use and tons more. I camp state/national parks. olden days no one. now you reserve your site 11 months in advance and I do.

it will never be the same. one can't expect it to be. I appreciate some control because now there are tons of aholes out in parks, not like the older times when real woodsy people would go out into parks.

kills me, they have to put up 'stay in car if you see a bear on the road' signs. geez ya know. people are stupid. Get out with a momma bear and cubs, walk up and take a pic. ok you deserve to be fresh kill meat. honestly. stupid people require stupid signs

now there are tons more stupid people using the parks. so yea I want a bit of control out there to save me from the idiots.

When it comes to wild animals alot of people are really just plain ole STUPID and deserve what they get. Where my brother lives, He had to threaten one of the idiots with arrest to keep him from taking his 2 or 3 year old to pat the moose that was walking around town. Yup take your little kid to pat a 1500 pound bull moose, especially when it was near rutting season.

I see what you guys mean....never thought of that. Too bad the actions of a few ruin it for all. Same old story I guess.
