I was surprised about the speculators buying up whatever they could to sell back to the park. I guess greed has been around a long time. We are lucky to live so close. David

Our national and state parks are so precious, visitors from around the world come to visit them, I am amazed that our government allows destruction of them to happen so easily. I do not remember where it was I read it but an Italian visitor to our country commented about the recent park closures due to budget cuts that when people visit europe they go to visit the churches and cathedrals, when people go to visit america they go to visit the national parks and that europe would NEVER consider closing cathedrals or churches, how could america close national parks? I was gonna rant..but will stop here...... Daren -- http://www.sefcik.com http://www.darensefcik.com http://www.carrizogorge.com
