Welcome to our blog!
We are students at Virginia Tech and are currently working on our position for a debate in November. The debate is over "endangered experiences" and the question posed is "are we loving our national parks to death?" Basically, should there be as much infrastructure in the parks as there is? Should we be opening a less rugged experience to many or trying to preserve more "pristine" experiences for a few?
If couldn't tell by our blog name, we feel that is more important to open the experience of the parks to as many as possible rather than restricting access to preserve the original state of the parks. Over the next couple of months we will be exploring various arguments - and we will be keeping you posted!
So what do you think? Feel free to let us know - whether you agree, or disagree.
-Liz and Chuck
