In the movie The Long, Long Trailer (1953), Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are newlyweds who are traveling around in the county on their honeymoon. Lucy gets the idea of collecting a large rock from each place they visit as a souvenir. Twigs would have been a much better idea.

She’s lucky she didn’t get a fine or a ticket.

Maybe that stick will be the thing that causes a massive forest fire.

Take pictures of them starting a fire. That will teach the girl that no good deed goes unpunished.

Re Elian’s pic.

Your large, hi def photo revealed something I never noticed before —

The ‘operator’s’ gear is all BRAND NEW.

No sweat, no wear, no dirt (= no experience).

Don’t know about the other parks, but pets really aren’t allowed on trails in Canyonlands and Arches.

So you got away with breaking the rules at Canyonlands, which puts you one up on the Park Service.

OTOH, the guy didn’t have to be a jerk about it.

“My 9 year-old daughter was berated by a park ranger who saw her picking up and carrying something. The ranger launched into her screed as my daughter calmly showed her the bit of litter she had picked up. As the ranger paused, my daughter offered to put the candy wrapper back where she had found it. The ranger stalked off without the grace to even apologize.”

What more needs to be said. These people are narcist’s by nature, swelled by a sense of power. The fact that your daughter was able stand him down with kindness should be a lesson for us all. These people need confrontation, they cannot stand to be humiliated. Kudo’s to you and your daughter

No she isn’t, what foolish talk is that? Give her a break, she should be commended for doing what she “thought” was right, and BY THE LAW OF THE PARK was right. What do you want, her to grow up with no regard to any law. This sounds so liberal to me. So sorry if this offends.

And in a few years she’ll have an abortion and believe that it’s no big deal. For libs, twigs have value; babies do not.

It takes a special type of loser to bully a 9 year old child over a bit of litter...WOW!

The only consolation is that the idiot will die one day and the obituary will be a joke that nobody reads.

If this was a more sane age then this would be heart-warming and adorable.

The fact of the matter is that the little girl is very lucky that she didn’t catch the attention of idiot liberals. They have no problem hunting down and putting handcuffs on small children. Then comes the verbal and physical brutalization. It happens over ‘illegal’ food in schools, ‘illegal’ lemonade stands, etc etc.

We are already in Bizarro world! Pray for nuclear Armageddon!

"The law of the park" doesn't exist, you totaliarian maniac. It's actually a part of the US Code, and it only applies to government and corporate workers, and has been extended by contractual presumption to everyone else under duress, which makes it void ab initio. But arguing this has been made expensive through Court procedures designed to fool people into believing that there is actually such a thing as a "law of the park" by which they can go out and scare little girls into kneejerk obedience to mysterious powers that hold them as slaves.

Is that clear, jackass?

‘totaliarian maniac’ & ‘jackass’ proves that you have a liberal-foul mouth, any would be adult that would lambaste a child for doing what she “thought’ was law would appear quite childish as your words suggest. Relax and loosen up a bit.
