No Parking

We went to the mountains today, to Rocky Mountain National Park to be exact, and there was no where in the first 2 parking lots near the trail heads we wanted to hike to park. We opted for a smaller trail head four miles away and then hiked the trail we would've done from the other heads backwards. The weird part is that we passed probably a total of 5 people during our 3 mile hike. It seems there were people enough to cram 2 parking lots full to the brim and even more shuttled in who drove to the park to picnic less than 100 yards away from their cars. It was nice not to have people swarming all over the moutain, but why go to a state park to picnic? I can't see any reasonable way to be offended by this from an idealistic stand point, to say that people shouldn't picnic there, but I wish if they were going to use up all of the parking they'd at least get out and enjoy it a little bit.

Thanks to everyone who didn't post a single response to the medicine or disabilities threads, since you're the same people who complain when I don't post on "serious" topics or frequently enough. Freakin' hypocrits.
