the rangers have nothing to do with this. Rangers are the enforcement arm of the NPS and do not set policy. Believe me, most of the rangers feel exactly the same way that we do about these restrictions and the tyranny of the eco nazis.
The real fault of this rests at the feet of the unelected bureaucrats, the career hacks that infest our government. They are the true ruling class, because they set the rules and they are basically unaccountable - they never face election, and, unless they pull something like the head of GSA did with that party in Vegas on our dime and get themselves fired they are untouchable. These are the people who need to be stopped.
Just like my thread a week back about the NPS shutting down Hatches Harbor and Race Point - the head of CCNS, the federal area head of Fish & Wildlife and the MA head of Fish & Wildlife made the decision, without any public input, two days before the beach opened for the season.
This is not how it is supposed to be in America.
