Just guessing, but sounds like she had a mind of her own and not well liked by some. Small towns can, at times, be small. Peace, lynne (I live in one :D)

calm down people....
all of us who were evacvuated in the recent fire were told that, if we stayed, we were subject to arrest if we left our proprties, which she did.
it was a simple rule, intended to keep people clear of the fire crews, so they could save the rest of our houses.

Lottery opens for High Sierra Camps
September 3, 2009
Technology will afford prospective guests of Yosemite's High Sierra Camps blah blah blah Beginning Sept. 1, applications were made available online for submission and will be accepted through Nov. 1, 2009.
"We're pleased to make this announcement, blah blah blah "For decades, the only way to enter the High Sierra Camp lottery was to submit a hard-copy application to our Fresno reservations office and wait for three months. Those days are over."
Applicants submitting by the Nov. 1 deadline will receive notification 30 to 60 days faster than in previous years. "
I won't be trading in my current rat race for that one!

"We were told that if we freely traveled or our own reasons we would be arrested. It is a simple rule intended to keep potential terrorists clear of the police so they could save the rest of us from terrorists."
The dumbing down of Americans lacks only a few hold-outs who can think enough to recognize the unmitigated stupidity, arrogance and maliciousness of American police and their mindless supporters.
Not many thinking people left among the climbers, but a few.

His "enlightening the sheeple" rants are almost as nutty and entertaining as the diatribes by the California wolf haters, and about as verbose.

I can’t...I can’t..... arghhh, I cannot resist.
First off, it does seem a bit extreme, but I only have the snippet from the link to go on. Maybe she threatened the rangers.
Secondly, Doug does seem a bit... out there (hope you have a good belayer).
And thirdly, we all know that Rokjox hates California, and by extension, Californians.
No surprises there.
So what’s the big deal?

It was not that long ago Roxjox wrote a long list of all the effed up s#*t that has been done to and in the fine state of IDUNNO.
Sounds to me, in every thread he post's that he just HATES LIFE!

Go easy on the boy from Hi-Dee-Ho.
It's not easy staying sane when you live in a bunker under your mother's house waiting for the end of the world to come.

This is possibly off topic, but last night, while in Yosemite, I ran into a delightful couple at the mariposa entrence who live in Mariposa.. we were discussing the fire and how it was started by the NPS....
The man told me that there was a local (Mariposa) official who had signed off on starting the fire.....
He was upset at this...
He's breathing has been impacted by the smoke in his home valley.

"More than One in Five people in Idaho live in poverty, according to the Federal guidelines.
But we don't move away.
Wonder why?"
One in 5 can't afford to?

It's people that use the word "Cali" that create "ghetto" overtones. I just hate that word.

My brother moved to Idaho because California was too expensive. Folks with little $$$ stay in Idaho because not many U.S. places are cheaper!
Aside from financial reasons, some folks gravitate toward Idaho and similar places of low population density simply because there are fewer people. Fewer people = less opportunity for conflict (if you are the kind of person who is very particular about the humans with whom you interact).

I just lived out in Montana so that no one would bother me, my dogs, and my guns. It was nice out there until I had to find work somewhere and was transplanted to Los Angeles to work at UCLA. When this is all said and done, I'll be moving back to my home in Bozeman. California does have exceptional climbing but it's not worth putting up with the politics, traffic, and pollution when I can just as easily come out to visit from time to time. There's also no ski resorts in California to rival the snow and conditions found on a regular basis at Big Sky and Bridger. Finally, I'm not too fond of a 7-hour drive to get to some ice climbing when I used to have it in my back yard in Hyalite Canyon.

People live in lots of places for a variety of reasons. One guy's paradise is another's he11. I've spent lots of time in Idaho and think it's a swell place, especially when I get the urge to shave my head, tatoo swazstikas all over my body and have a shoot-out with the FBI.

Why even feed Rokjox, his hatred of all things Californian is pathological. Poor soul.
BTW Rocky boy, if I ever get to Idaho and we are on speaking terms, you've got to get me some climbing days in the Sawtooths, they seem awesome.

You meet the nicest people in the mountains. They are more interesting.
Yes, I left my "belayer" holding the rope, and climbed beyond it long ago, where there is more knowledge learned by a few more knowledgeable people. It is what the human mind is for, if you use it. The American social "belayer" stops you at where thinking people start asking real questions about their inherently corrupted government, any government. All of history proves that the greatest threat to your freedom to make your own choices, with the knowledge you learn, is your own government.
But of course the well-belayed Californians would not understand that. They stay "safe", "secure", "protected", clueless.
Don't know Ann, but she, the rest of you and even the perpetually amusing Park Rangers and Californians are always welcome at the Alaskan Alpine Club HQ. You are a member if you say you are. (Bring some of that fine Californian wine, preferably Lamborn Family, Downing Family, some Frey organic.)
Carry on...

Ah Patrick, you're right. When I pass homeless people muttering to themselves or passerbys I just pick up the pace.
But when they spit in your direction that's another story.
