The Generational Divide

Over the past few months, I’ve been having some conversations with various people about an Adirondack Park Agency regulation that caught me by surprise when I heard about it.  What is it? It’s that all new wilderness camping sites must be at least 150 feet from a water front or trail, and any existing site must be relocated to that distance if it requires  reconstruction.  Considering that my job does mean keeping up with regulations, it was the first I’d heard of it, hence part of my shock.  The other part was being incredulous that it was thought to be a good idea.
