Sorry, James, but I would think the BSA would be the first group to
support the rules regarding group size and insure that there was no way two
crews from the same unit ever got close to each other. It's a rule in more
places than BWCA and we're all going to have to learn to live with it. That
rule was just imposed in the largest park in the lower 48--New York's
Adirondack Park (At 6 million acres it's larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite,
Grand Canyon, Glacier and Great Smokey Mountains National Parks--combined!).
