I've had several evolutions in thinking, and now feel that the "Less is better" low impact style is the better way. If we camp with packs and hike in, we earn the camp, and the pride that comes from "just enough" and a well planed event. We can "support" this with vehicles.. But too many times at Ranger events a car is next to a tent, and I see faces in busses as they leave. > > Part of our RR program is 'nature'.
