You’re clearly a newb around here if you expect to be still on topic after 4 or 5 posts, let alone 4 or 5 pages.

This site is so much better than the Borg. It requires a little more effort to comment, and even when a thread zigs and zags, it usually returns -- even if tangentially -- to the OP's question/comment.

Wow. This thread is something to behold. From a Quandary rescue to Natives Rule to Hate Texans to Hate Trump to Hate Honnold and such. Just amazing.
Oh, and I do see ezabielski's point. Kill it if necessary, but it does have some entertaining value.

Trumps asshatness is worth stating in any forum.

I can't say I've read them all but I've only seen about 2 posts related to the OP's (that would be me) original comment. Funny that people who have absolutely nothing useful to say just can't seem to stop those fingers...

You really have to admire those men and women that volunteer for these search & rescue groups. They were able to get that couple down the mountain, in difficult conditions, at night. It must be so rewarding for them to be able to do this kind of work. And the Flight for Life helicopter pilot, dropping that crew in high on the mountain. That's really impressive too.

Speaking of people from “Texas”. You all look Texan to me.

If Texans stopped visiting it would put a pretty big dent in the tourism industry. Then everyone would have something new to complain about.

I dunno - the state has got be be getting CLOSE to having enough population to support the tourism industry WITHOUT any travelers from out-of-state/country.

The state residents are probably WAY more responsible for the mountain-overcrowding issue than tourists.

Without taking a side on the issue, it would be really interesting to know what percentage of "climber use days" on the 14ers are out of staters vs. CO people.

Considering that most of the 14ers are on National Forest land anyway, this means that they belong to "we the people" no matter what state you come from. They are on Federal land, supported by Federal income taxes and not the state of Colorado. So, the Texans have just as much of a right to hike them as Colorado residents.
