I Can't Stop Reading One-Star Yelp Reviews of National Parks From an actual Yelp review of Yosemite:
Quote:
BTW, the park shuts off some of the waterfalls after mid summer. This is probably due to dwindling Park Service budgets that are spent on toilet paper. Please protest this fiscal mismanagement by STAYING AWAY from Yosemite! Also, there are bears in Yosemite. They practice breaking into cars. Do you want a bear to break into your car? STAY AWAY!

I'd like to write a similar review concerning some of my favorite places. For instance: Olympic National Park I went to the Hoh rain forest and all it did was rain. And there is nothing to see anyway but trees. Trees, trees, trees, and mud. They don't even pave all the trails and when it rains there is no nice restaurant or cafeteria to go and sit. One star. STAY AWAY In Olympic National Park there is a drive to a place called Hurricane Ridge which is supposed to be a beautiful viewpoint but it is always foggy and windy. Don't go, you won't see anything! STAY AWAY

I would only give one star to the National Park System because the National Parks are too far away from big cities. They need to construct some National Parks closer to cities so people can visit one in between trips to shopping malls on the weekend. In fact, I think there should be one in the next shopping mall that goes up. It should have mountains and streams with fish and those friendly bears like on the toilet paper commercials.

Nature exists with a stark indifference to humans' situation.

...be careful what you wish for. That's what they do in a lot of places.

Well, there is, actually, but the espresso machine is usually not working... and it rains all the time, and you can't see the rainforest because of all the stupid trees.
