Depressed? Outdoor activity stimulates natural endorphins!
I find the pic a bit depressing. Something about the wilderness, crowds, and conformity.
Well maybe the remark about conformity fits me...I am after all in the US Army - master of conformity (or uniformity anyway), but if you think all military folks are alike I assure you it is as diverse a community as America - pretty well representative. The rest of the ER group was quite diverse too: older couples, professionals, teachers, from California to Florida to North East USA to the Heartland...I think there were 30 of us (people not trucks).:smiley_drive:
I hope to get more photos like this at this year's gathering.:ylsmoke:
I can't see how the vista is very depressing though...an inevitable consequence of the creation of National Parks is that people will want to visit them - in groups even...unless solo travel is the thing for you - then I suppose I get it.:coffeedrink: To each his own...
I voted that ExPo wasn't snobby (and I am apparently in the minority as I review that thread). If you would apply your comment to a group of Jeeps, LandCruisers, Land Rovers, or any other similar vehicle style association "get together" then at least you'll be consistent in your discrimination of conformity. I'm just saying...not sure why you'd throw a grenade of a comment like that in this area though. We all picked up after ourselves...in fact we boondocked all week - no hookups, only solar and the water and food we brought in (and packed out the trash).:chef:
The rare Eastern ER. Perhaps a new eastern migration pattern. Or a lost juvenile ER.
Here's my junvenile ER enthusiast watching me keeping the solar panels clear in Gulf Shores earlier this month:
If I misread your meaning, I apologize...hard to tell over electronic media - if not, please don't make one of the areas I like to visit unpleasant. Thanks.
