I know these toys are probably a lot of fun, but how about using your
feet to get around the campground instead? Or a bike? Much quieter and
your fellow campers will be much happier, too. Last thing this planet
needs is more obnoxious 2 cycle smokers with crappy mufflers. We have a
few of the street scooters in the neighborhood and I can hear them
coming about a mile away. Then the stinkin' smoke comes wafting thru my
house if the windows happen to be open. Same thing goes for personal
water craft, dirt bikes, gas leaf blowers, etc.
I heard somewhere that a foreign tourist visiting Lake Mead? said he
could not understand why we Americans would allow some guy on a jet-ski
to disturb so many people. Don't get me started! Besides, it's not
Vanagon content.
OK, my rant for the day... I feel better now. Pardon my directness.
