Thanks for the response. I am going to take your advice and not self
advertize this letterbox but I'm going to place it Saturday. If the
Park Service really wants to save the enviroment in the Valley they can
start by burning Curry Village. I'll post clues Sunday.

Yosemity Valley is this incredably beautiful canyon with 2-3k high shear
granite walls. On the valley floor the parks department built and leases out
a tourist town of pizza shops, ice cream shops, t-shirt stores, etc. It's
kind of like a mall but one company owns all the stores. A lot of people
aound here would like to see to go.

Heck, I'd like to see it go and I am not ever there!
Please keep those nuts down there, though, and make sure they don't come up
here!

This is a shame. There are, however, places in the lower 48 that
are absolutely spectacular but have none of this. Imagine a place
as spectacular as the Grand Canyon, but with no visitor center, a
dirt road that takes forever to follow to get to it, a place you
can have to yourself that few have heard about, a place where all
4 or 5 towns within a 100 mile radius have less than 50 people, etc.
Such a place is The Steens (or Steens Mountain) in Harney County, OR.
It is one the most spectacular places I've been to in the lower 48.
Someday the tourist stuff will arrive like in the rest of the
beautiful places, but you can visit it now before that happens. And,
before this post seems too off-topic, there is a letterbox up there,
for which I'll post clues when I get the time, but I could not resist
responding, sort of with an antidote to the sad Yosemite story.
