Thank you Mr. Dave, I believe that you have captured the spirit of the post. Perhaps the good people of PW will share their thoughts on ways to balance the wise use/sustainability issues facing many people involved in outdoor pursuits. I say outdoor pursuits to cover a broader user base with like concerns. I do not approve of the current practices regarding use permits in some of our more special areas. Ex. block permitting to commercial outfitters thereby excluding independent travelers. One of the reasons that I think many people resent outfitters in general. I am located near the Okeefenokee Swamp and Cumberland Island National Seashore both of which preclude spontaneity due to their permitting processes. This is not to read as sour grapes, I choose to paddle less traveled waters. Thank you all for the thoughtful postings, Bruce WEO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Sep 22 1999 - 05:37:20 PDT
