Interesting. I think all of them are beneficial to keeping areas clean, but the no saving of spots..that is weird. At a developed site, I expect I have to pay to reserve, and I can use it how I want...maybe I am not understanding some aspect of that.

Guess it will be keg beer and boxed wines from now on. Not sure what to do about the single malt, tho.....

Sounds like they have had recent serious problems with large groups moving in and taking over an area or camp ground and then leaving a mess. Too bad a few hooligans make it tough on the rest of us.

You hit the nail on the head.

Which by the way, no nail or screws on firewood; rule #3. Lol.
