Fore!!!

They should make her climb down and retrieve the club...without a rope.

Having guided the Canyon twice (I was oaring the luggage supply raft) I can't fathom the desire to "influence" that world.

She should be made to pay for and participate in finding the golf balls and club.

I would fine her $10K and make her spend 200 hours cleaning up the Canyon area.

How about just throw her off? Grab her by the hair and hammer throw her fat ass, I guarantee the distance out would be more impressive than her tiktok BS We live stream that shat, $50 a pop, hell, $100 and use the proceeds to clean up after people like her in the National Parks.

I would gladly strap on a harness and rappel down there to clean up the greasy spot wherever she landed

I get it, but man, "the anger is strong in this one," as yoda would say. Try to relax, buddy. Lots of stupid out there, and they are making money out of it.

She needs to spend time in jail for a few weekends, and then pay 100% of the cost of finding and retrieving every single golf ball and anything else she littered.

My nephew has twice kayaked the length of the canyon. They carry everything in and back out. Everything but urine is hauled back out. So yep, they have a PVC tube with all the crap and toilet paper goes in, for each person. They stop at a ranger station, and the tube is weighed. He did not mention if it is inspected. But he leaves behind nothing but footprints, and burned wood from the campfires. He does indeed haul out some of the other jerks litter left behind.

I don’t think enough people understand the below.

The last time I rafted the Canyon was in 1981. Twelve day trip. The poop rule was not in effect yet but we left nothing else behind.

The rafting company I was a 20% owner in did not have any “seats” on the Canyon but we would trade trips especially late in the season. In the those days it was a much smaller community. 1981 was my last year.

The act of her hitting golf balls into the canyon didn't bother me that much until I read that she uploaded it to Tic Tok.

Don't forget, never pee anywhere but a pee bottle or in the river. (It reeks and it erodes the soil)

And I agree with the above posters that the kid who launched the ball and the club in the river needs to go down right now and pick up her trash.

I've spent a lot of time back packing the Adirondacks. I always brought extra trash bags with me because I knew that there'd be crap left behind by others.

According to several websites, she has been identified and charged by the NPS. Never heard of either website I read it on, so....

We carry "blue bags" when backpacking. IOW, we carry our poop out. Also, we avoid peeing on rocks. Goats like the salt, and we don't want them to get into the habit of hanging around people for their salt. We also use bear canisters for a similar reason.

Mountain goats are mighty impressive animals. About as muscular as any animal can possibly be. Magnificent, really. Effortless 12-15 foot vertical leaps on rock ledges.

What is the difference between all the animals who **** in the woods and the relatively few humans who might do it? Non biodegradable garbage I understand.... Taking a duke out in the middle of nowhere... What could it possibly hurt?
