For goodness sake, the only thing strong enough last evening, after verifying that the vehicle might..... make it all the way down into the valley, with a heavy heart the magnificent campsite of the last 2 1/2 weeks was vacated stop it was too late by that time to completely load the vehicle and two couples came by in a car and after learning that the campsite now was theirs were happy with the idea of me having my tent in a remote part of this large site as I had done with others stop going to sleep early as always about 9:30 or 10 there was a flashlight maybe not in my face but near that stop I'm officer so and so of the park police or Ranger so on so stop what are your plans he asked stop depending upon what you say I replied, after I vacated the site these young folks said they would be glad to have me stay in a remote part of the site and I would like to do that stop you are well over the 14 day limit and tomorrow morning you need to be on your way to wherever else you can arrange to go stop half asleep was I but his demeanor seemed pleasant and not disrespectful stop by morning it had  become clear to me that although I know some folks stay there for months their vehicle is not a stand out and he probably had no choice because otherwise he was advertising to others that the two week limit was not real stop two things come to my mind about this stop being way up in the desert has shown me something I didn't realize, how very much I dis like being in what calls itself civilization in this country stop  and it seems clear to me that this nice young Ranger felt a Fear and Loathing at the idea of me stop at the idea of someone living in an unconventional way stop and not because of any intention on my part the spirit of head and flesh in charge of this young man would rightly fear the LSGIA being controlling my life stop when the LSGIA being is in charge they no longer are stop and when it happens it is wonderful for them but they have no way of knowing this even while it is going on stop
