 @0548cb44 yes, so long as it's not the kind where people bring speakers and blast music. 😣

 @40ceb4c5 I hate those people and may have drowned a few. Or the fools on a hike talking loudly on their cell phones. Grrrr

*law enforcement: this is a joke

 @0548cb44 the trifecta, for me personally, is cyclists on non-bike-permitted trails (sensitive trails) blasting music. perfection.

 @40ceb4c5 Oh man, my equivalent is anyone on an ATV driving across the delicate tundra or cars on beaches! That shit outrages me.

 @0548cb44 ooh, I haven't seen that personally yet but I've heard it (and seen the tracks). that's worse, definitely. that's "okay, I'm fucking calling whoever the cops are" levels of BS.

 @40ceb4c5 I saw it a lot in Alaska. Infuriating. I was often hoping a pissed off grizzly would go after them. Then they'd load those beasts onto their man-trucks and drive off, leaving behind so much damage.

 @0548cb44 they also start fires, so I would love to see them getting a harder crackdown. can't use it responsibly? can't use it at all.

 @40ceb4c5 They don't care. There should be some kind of environmental stewardship test required and oath taken before you get to enter protected lands.

 @0548cb44 you basically want it to be annoying enough for most people not to bother with it, but available to people of all incomes/etc. I am on board...
