How many  out there agree with me that this is really good news. With the
boom over  and attrition from the grim reaper on the other end as well maybe
sea  kayaking will again return to being a sport where one doesn't have  to
compete for a camp spot. Maybe I can again enjoy a wilderness  experience
without having to burn so much fossil fuels to get to it before  the reaper
gets me.

As for the shrinking WW demographic. Would you  take up a sport, even if you
were a wild and stupid testosterone charged  young man, that seems, from the
media portrayal, to be mostly throwing  yourself off of high waterfalls
without a parachute and trying to miss the  rocks far below. Remember, wind
surfing. It was once very popular  too.

Matt,
 
You will never face the grim reaper. You will kick his ass, and report back  
to us. No exclamations or emoticons necessary.
 
All the best,

By the way, if you do face unduly campsite pressure, tell them what you did  
to the formerly grim, but now corrected reaper.
