Also, if people go out in the wilderness and get lost, injured, or dead, they (or their heirs) will sue the Park Service for not stopping them. Under the tort theory of “Attractive Nuisance,” other people can be held liable for the existence of a location in which you can do something fatally stupid.

Instead of posting notice of closing of the parks, post notice that no aid or rescue efforts will be made beginning date certain. Let visitors decide for themselves.

Maybe they should ban people from the GSMNP forever, because of the liability concerns. Also, the campers are predominately white people. Shouldn't there be a special wilderness area for black people, Asians etc. This is so discriminatory.

The government knows what is best; I am sure they will solve this problem and establish a wilderness area for minorities!
