This is from AP so can't excerpt.

Rich environmentalists are continuing the sham, started in the Clinton administration, of using the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to limit access to Yosemite National Park.

Already hundreds of campsites and tent platforms used by moderate income visitors have been eliminated in favor of high-priced hotel and motel accommodations.

But that's not good enough for the green-limousine set. They don't want to have to look at the hoi polloi floating down the Merced River in inner tubes when they look out of their $400 a night suite at the Ahwahnee Hotel. So they're going to use the Wild River Act to limit access to the river and to Yosemite Park.

Details at the link.

I thought they were trying to figure out how to get more minorities to visit Yosemite. Now I’m really confused you varmints!

I’ve been there once!

Just like San Francisco, it is chock full of nuts.

Once was more than enough for me. They can have the thing!
