He had to be up to something illegal I guess."

Sorry I had to bale on coming, but it sounds like you all handled things just fine. I look forward to hearing the details around a camp fire this weekend."
Rob Cameron commented on John Quillen's blog post BACKCOUNTRY TAX FEEASCO the unedited and uncensored edition"Erik, I keep coming back to the budget surplus myself when I think about this. The other thing that bothers me about this, and the GSMNP fee, is that they never seem to consider utilizing volunteers to avoid a fee. Government's first, and…"

Rob Cameron commented on John Quillen's blog post BACKCOUNTRY TAX FEEASCO the unedited and uncensored edition"You are absolutely correct, Jim. If this was happening to a private business, and stopping their cash flow, they would focus on fixing it ASAP. With the government, not so much. Their paycheck will still be there and they don't have to worry…"

How's that new reservation system working for you?
Posted on March 7, 2013 at 10:14am 13 Comments 2 Likes
Our legal eagle wanted us to start a new blog where we can discuss how good/BAD the new reservation system is. The one time I used it I found it to be rather hard to figure out. I tried to go back and change the number of people in my party and could never make that happen. It kept telling me that if I went back it would delete my work. That would be fine, but when I tried to make a new reservation it said I already had one on that date. As I said, I finally gave up and went with my original…

After that I will visit other places as well much more as there are other places near the Smokies that need to be hiked.
Hope you have a good Easter weekend!
Mark

Hey Rob, your links to the American Thinker are outstanding! We had a group down in the Smokies two weeks ago and I was telling them that the State of TN and NC should take over the Park and demand that the government get out. When I read the most recent article you posted I was telling my wife to take a look at this. Just saw a posting that the Park may be open soon with state funds. Too bad this didn't happen sooner in the summer, then maybe Look Rock, Abrams Creek, and Balsam Mountain campgrounds would of been opened. Sure appreciate all you do to keep us informed!
