I think it may be you who doesn't see our point. We understand what you are
saying. It is just that most of think you are grossly over-reacting. Nobody
is going to sue over their own stupidity. There have been trail books in
various parts of this country for many years and nobody has sued them. What
you fear won't happen because there just aren't going to be a lot of people
who do this.

Please don't bring your rules and regulations to Connecticut. I fear you'll
ruin the fun.

Well, we chose that manner rather than attack you personally as you have
chosen to do. Carolyn does get it, there was no need for that comment.

Because we can see the forest from the trees. Why can't you? People are
mostly embarrassed when they get lost in the woods and aren't going to
broadcast it when there are no deep pockets to sue. You've made your point,
but the whole lot of us apparently think you're over reacting. Immensely I
might add.
