#5 a good percentage of tourist hikers leave an incredible amount of trash wherever they go. We see loose trash right next to bear-proof bins, almost as if the lids were too heavy or something (or they couldn't figure out the latching system).

Can't imagine what the 'entitled' folks, used to having their moms or nannies pick up after them, would leave.

#6 I read something over ten years ago that, back then, trash and sewage were becoming a real problem.

#10 ^ Pshaw. Been there many times and cherish fond memories of the cozy little cantina where I once met a funny native fellow with a grotesque red nose who provided me with invaluable information regarding a beaten-down mining stock... oh... did you say Rombok? Never mind.
