Yosemite, what a joke. Its a smog congested burned out over populated park ruined by Curry Company commercialism. Trout,,,,,no more. Bears eating exclusively out of trash cans. Garbage everywhere. Firefalls....what's that ?

I grew up camping in the park, way way back, and was there 3 years ago. I was totally disgusted with the number of tourist bringing their belcing combustion engines into such a wonderful wilderness,,,well what used to be a wilderness !
