Escalators Anyone? Acts 14:22

The following was taken from registration sheets and comment cards returned to the staff of the Bridger Wilderness Area in Wyoming in 1996:

1. Trails need to be wider so people can walk holding hands.

2. Trails need to be reconstructed.  Please avoid building trails that go uphill.

3. Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs.  Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.

4. Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow during the winter.

5. Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them.

6. The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake.  Please eradicate these annoying animals.

7. A small deer came into my camp and stole my jar of pickles.  Is there a way I can get reimbursed?

8. Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights. 9. Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.

10. A McDonald’s would be nice at the trailhead.

11. The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.

12. Too many rocks in the mountains. - Mark Neifert, Argonia, Kansas from Light and Life (Feb 1997)
