Those fish are amazing looking! That must have been a sight in person...
Congrats on reaching gold member status
On the downside, I really did not like hearing about the poaching, garbage and lack of respect. I usually think that is limited to the more common and easy to reach areas, e.g. NSR or Pigeon...doesn't make it any better there either...maybe worse because so many more see that crap (i.e. garbage). But it does bother me that you hiked in to see it. I'm sure you were expecting a more pristine experience as we would we all.
I don't have that litter bug gene in me. To the point of those little stickers on an apple that I pull them off and pocket them for later disposal. I just cannot understand that mentality of the litter and take. It is beyond me.
