This latest
story reminds me of the complete naivete we often have about people. We go camping, expecting that other campers will be like us - on vacation, family-oriented, nature-oriented. We forget that the wilderness offers much to society's rejects. To stay away from the prying eyes of neighbors, to be able to indulge in whatever aberrant behavior, to not have to register as a sex offender . . . It's a good place to hide out. I know we have park rangers and small town law enforcement, sheriffs, and troopers, but we need to be really careful when we wander into the wilderness. We need to think of stories like this or the
Yosemite murders.
