What we’re trying to do is protect this resource for future generations" | |

Couldn't the government put up signs and/or barricades that citizens could be free to ignore limiting the government's liability instead of posting guards and threatening arrest to prevent people from entering the park. (Perhaps it is time for some MLK jr. style civil disobedients.) | |
