Indians were there first, they inhabited this valley for thousands of years, they must have had to relieve themselves at some point as well, sue them too , what's fair is fair!

The Indians that lived there were known to carve in the granite to ground acorns, they cleared the trees with fires, they littered the ground with obsidian, not even natural to the park, why is it when ever there is wrongful use of the land claim is always blamed on the US citizens only?

Six years after the rock slide, his parents suspect that mankind's handprint atop Glacier Point — most notably a bathroom water system prone to overflow — lubricated the cliff face, provoking a flurry of rock falls, including the June 1999 tragedy that claimed Terbush.

Rainfall has no effect in the park.

Damn Lawyers...Damn Judges who should toss this case before it even gets started.
