That's the way it always goes isn't it?

I don't know, but I suspect that they get a lot of people that think they're going to go disappear "Into the Wild" there and live off the fat of the land for a while, or forever.

Anyone have any idea of how many un-permitted hikers they shoo away out of Yosemite in an average year?

There must be some pretty good stories about that. It'd be fun to listen to the Rangers when they got on that subject
