   LETTERLETTERLETTER    Editor: Well, it's that time of year again.  I encourage good folks to come up and enjoy our neck of the woods, but am weary and damned well put out over the lack of respect, decency and outright idiocy from people visiting here.  My Honey and I now refer to them as "seagulls" and "locusts".  They fly in, crap on everything and take off and/or devour all the beauty (burn up what's left of the forests) and leave.  I don't get it.  Follow the rules, enjoy your stay, clean up after yourselves and come back another day to do it all over again.  What's so hard about that?!   How about this.  You call a central line, make a reservation for an area (fossil springs, for example), give your specifics (number of people, vehicles and license plates) and then you are held accountable for whatever mess you leave behind.  Makes sense to me.  Oh, wait, that's the problem........  Here's what we don't get.  Graffiti.  So, you're getting ready to go camping......"Ok, got the suntan lotion, chairs, plates, oh wait, forgot the can of spray paint".One more and I swear, we're done.  Diapers.  Dear Lord people, you know you're gonna change your kid.  Bring something to put the nasty thing in, along with all your other partyware and tissues from using the toilet behind the closest tree or sign.  Gotta love how we have advanced as a species.Tamara Kinnaman
