[pct-l] Camping on Whitney

[Bob Bankhead]

Don't ban them; a ban almost impossible to enforce anyway and meaningless to
folks who never intended to return to the area anyway.

Make the punishment fit the crime.

Require a very significant financial security deposit on their part (2 or 3
times the cost of sending someone else to do it) - cash or credit card -
then require them to go back to the trail and retrieve a given number of
used WAG bags, no matter how many trips it takes. When they have done so,
refund their deposit minus administrative costs, and THEN put them on the
"do not permit" list.

They need some undercover Rangers to catch the violators . I would be
supportive of banning violators from going into the area they broke the
rules in. Hopefully that is not too harsh. Thank you for the advice.
