New rules for floaters

[Whiskers]

I hadn't heard anything about this until Wolf brought it up but I reckon it's worth mentioning.I'm against more rules myself.I think if they enforced some already on the books they wouldn't have the problems.If people would just show a little respect when children and families are around it wouldn't be a problem.


Here is the Story

Couple of the rules id agree with but they were pretty much on the books already such as no drugs and no nudity. I got no problem with the nudity myself but a lot of kids float to.

The 48 quart cooler size limitation is kinda stupid. The no slapping of a paddle on the water. IM afraid id have a few choice words for any officer warning my wife about wearing beads. They can keep their mouths shut and their threats to themselves and just wait and cite em when they flash em.
The no loud music, well long as it's not TO loud i got no problem. Citeing them for haveing a boombox or being a decibel or two over 'their' preferred limit is a bit much.
All in all they just need to enforce the no drugs and nudity laws already. The rest is just added on nonsense due to the feds getting into the act.

Bet it cuts the floating revenue through the state/national parks this is for. They will find out they as well as the complaining outfitters have shot themselves in the foot.
The floaters will go elsewhere to float and spend their money.
Which in the end will most likely make the law go state wide and really stir things up.

All in all i think the feds got their hand stuck in and bolloxed a well meant intention up as they so often do. I see a lot of outfitters crying at the end of the season when their profits go way down. The floaters WILL go elsewhere.

Yea,some of those rules are ridiculous.I don't think they can enforce the bead wearing.

[Wolfman]

The wording was they would 'warn' any woman they seen wearing beads she would be cited for 'solicitieing'.
Wearing the beads don't mean chit so they can keep their yaps shut!
Now if they see someone flash for beads THEN as far as im concerned they can say something to them.
I think citeing them for 'solicitieing' like a common prostitue is a bit much though.
Most countries/peoples are a lil more open and laid back about the human body and think we're still kinda puritanical. And honestly we are. Still a lot of folks with puritan like values when it comes to some things.
Honestly a woman showing her boobs in front of my kids don't bother me. Aint going to bother the girls and the boys are going to be straining their eyes at the real ones or playboy pics anyways.
South of the equator is something else all together though.
Really if it's not hurting anyone else like loud music, drugs, drunkeness, splashing/spraying water i see no harm.
In the end i think they went to far and the outfitters and the parks are going to see a loss of revenue and possibly a lawsuit when they cite the wrong woman.
