So I haven't made any purchases yet, but I'm still looking to my friends in the Hiking forum to help, but this has got to be one of my favorite posts so far:
U S Forest Service funnies - 2008/07/24 02:20 posted by Talloutdrsygal
These are actual comments left on U. S. Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers completing wilderness camping trips. I thought they were too funny not to pass on. Enjoy!
"A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call."
"Escalators would help on steep uphill sections."
"Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest Service needs to reduce worldwide population growth to limit the number of visitors to
wilderness."
"Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands."
"Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals."
"All the mile markers are missing this year."
"Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse."
"Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill."
"Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests."
"Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow in the winter."
"Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them."
"The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals."
"Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights."
"Need more signs to keep area pristine."
"A McDonald's would be nice at the trail head."
"The places where trails do not exist are not well marked."
"Too many rocks in the mountains."
About Me

- I have a BS in Marine Bio as well as a BA in Archaeology and am currently working toward my MA in Anthropology specializing in Historical Archaeology with a focus on marine textiles. I had 2 kids that are 15 months apart and both have Cystic Fibrosis. Because of this I'm working on raising funds and awareness about CF. Currently I hope to one day be able to hike the 2,ooo miles from Georgia to Maine that are collectivly called the Appalachian Trail.

Oh my gosh these are ridiculous!! Sooo funny though. My favorite is the one about reconstructing trails to avoid hills, haha.
well, i took the html code for those "money goals" bars off of someone else's site. i tried leaving it here in the comment part, but since it's html code it kept getting rejected. i can email it to you if you want.
