Used to worry about such things, but the desert is huuuuge, and people tend to cluster in very specific areas. The trick is to prevent the enviroweenies from regulating or shutting down the popular areas, as all that does is displace the weekend warriors out to the more remote areas starting the cycle again
That is EXACTLY what has happened here: all my favorite camping places were "bought" (using some private money, but mostly government grants) by "TLC" (the land conservancy-I refer to them as: tyrants liars and con artists) and gated off.
These twits shut down and gated off the only access to a public park, and demand that only walking or horseback access "their" land. Meanwhile, I STILL see automobile tracks on the "footpaths" once known as Harbourview Road...
We "regular folk" can't even get through most logging roads anymore since the "activists" have forced the loggers either out of business or into locking the roads down so NOBODY but they can get in. You should see some of the security measures needed to keep the vandals out.
It's like "Animal Farm", but Orwell was an optimist.
