I have never been a fan of the USFS...but this year, I have never seen such an absolute flood of clueless urban idiots into the National Forests, I suppose because the people that normally go to destination resorts decided to go camping because of covid. They shut down the entire Region 2 forests this summer, and should have done it earlier. For all of their faults, the USFS has to make the rules to work for the stupidest and most clueless forest visitors. It doesn't matter that you are knowledgeable about fuel moisture, humidity, wind, engine exhaust, maybe even have firefighting experience...the rules must be adjusted to the dumbest user...and applied equally to all. The whole motor vehicle code is based on making travel safe for the stupidest, same thing.
