But how neat that the locals are stepping up and taking over. I'm surprised (and not at the same time) that the government doesn't deem it "worth" their effort.

I mean, it's very common to see graffiti when living in a city. I remember when I first moved to NYC back in the mid-70's and witnessed graffiti everywhere (especially in the subways). Amazingly though, NYC has drastically cleaned up its act and removed practically all of the graffiti throughout the city.<br /><br />Great rant, Pat!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-20427017896031603442016-05-30T14:07:18.951-07:002016-05-30T14:07:18.951-07:00Glad there is protector of the place now!

Another would be to make the consequences for damaging, defacing, and stealing from these places much greater. It's barely a slap on the hand currently. <br /><br />James - I'm with you. Let me add that a lot of people suck! <br /><br />VEG - Hey there! I think they are doing some of that these days. It would be nice to see some law enforcement types, show up on weekend evenings, or other likely times. I admit that I wasn't the most well behaved person back-in-the-day, but I was taught at an early age, how important places like this were. I would have NEVER have done anything like this.<br /><br />NatureFootstep - Yep! I'm all for fun, if it's appropriate. <br /><br />robin andrea - I know exactly what you mean. As hard as it is to believe, there are even much worse things going on at some of these places. Like pot-hunting and grave robbing.

I would venture a guess that almost all of this graffiti was done by people that live within 10-20 miles from it. Maybe even less.<br /><br />trav4adventures - I'm thinking that "common sense" will NEVER prevail. Thanks Cheryl.<br /><br />Mandy Southgate - Either way, I needed to get some of it out (yes, there is more). Thanks Mandy.<br /><br />William Kendall - Thanks William! Total and complete!

The folks that feel the need to plaster these places with graffiti and ATV tracks, are nothing short of idiots. <br /><br />Sage - That is true! However, some government agencies drastically overstate the amount and frequency of vandalism. JTNP for example, doesn't seem to have the staffing to control the few things they do offer up to the public. So, no way are they going to give the public more access.<br /><br />Sallie (FullTime-Life) - Thanks Sallie! There are some nice people working there, but make no mistake, it is most certainly a bureaucracy.<br /><br />Brian - Thanks so much Brian!
