Lawsuits like this do one thing! They force new rules on people who have more rules than they can stand now, the loss is more than most can stand but to blame the Forest Service for this is a crime in itself!! If people want to stay in a safe place, Stay Home! People I have talked to have been going to this park for years, that's over and not because of the storm,that could have been solved with warning systems or something ,this lawsuit has closed the park.People think the Forest Service they have lots of money, Wake UP!! No one has lots of money now! They are a Goverment Agency,They are Broke like the rest of the Goverment!

I remember the day well. What I remember is hearing warning after warning. I was in a low area myself. I had to get them on my satellite radio. What I wonder is how someone can expect the government to baby sit campers. I don't trust them for anything. Start by sewing yourself if you were there. Always take care of yourself. Never leave your life in the hands of anyone else. Do your own keeping up with conditions. My mother taught me not to go to sleep below the high water marks in rainy weather.

I guess their as good of people to sue as any. I never knew you could hold anyone responsable for what the weather done. If that be the case... The weather service ows me some money for my trees that got snapped by the high winds. Good luck folks.... I cant see that sticking.
