These are actual comments left on U. S. Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips:
*
"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."
*
"Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest Service needs to reduce worldwide population growth to limit the number of visitors to wilderness."
*
"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."
*
"All the mile markers are missing this year."
*
"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."
*
"Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow in the winter."
*
"Chair lifts 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."
*
"Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights."
*
"Need more signs to keep area pristine."
*
"A McDonald's would be nice at the trail head."
*
"The places where trails do not exist are not well marked."
*
LOL Sounds like some great material for Bill Engvall ("...and here's your sign..").
