“Peaceful except for the mosquitoes 🦟 lol ”

Jamie M 5 · Jun 2023 · Recreation.gov

“Getting real tired of how the forest is being sold out for money. The people that use these sites now trash the area around them. I’m also getting tired of ATVs pulling in and having picnics. You’re turning the forest into a theme park for people from the city.”
