Dear Sirs: Like millions of others I have been visiting California Parks and natural treasures MOST of my 75 year old life.. I have visited (with great pleasure) all of the National Parks and most of the state parks. I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mexican Border to Warner Springs, from Humber Park to Taqhitz to the Tram and all of Golden Trout wilderness . Yosemite of course and Sequoia, Truckee to Hallelujah Junction, Ft. Bragg to Yreka, Channel Islands. All of this takes some time--and now the government is going to forbid PEOPLE from using THEIR PARKS? That is absolute tyranny. How dare you?
