outside reading

I read an article in the paper about how dangerous the trails in the boundary waters are. People have been getting lost in the boundary waters because brush grows on the paths and then you cant tell where the path is. This is a big problem but the Ely District Ranger doesn't want to put up signs because they dont want any human-made objects in the boundary waters because he thinks it takes away from the nature and the experience and so far every solution people have come up with so far he has turned down. Many hickers are scared of hicking it but for others it doesnt stop them.
