"good pic -- notice that only a little of the salt around the pool is trampled flat, and the the pool has defined edges, unlike just before the boardwalk was built. The Parkies goal was to get the pool back to the way is was in the photograph, while still allowing the public to get a close look at it, and to acess the salt pan.
There are things I don't like about the boardwalk, but it is a legitimate attempt to fix the problem.
The poster "T.J. Reynolds" would have moved the parking lot away, and basically closed access to badwater altogether. And he calls the parkies Nazis...so much for civility on the board. "
I never said close it. I said get all of the cars out. You could still go there. Pay attention!
Most of the people that stop there are doing so for the low point-not the pool.
They never really wanted to protect the pool. They just wanted better bus access. They always hide behind the label "conservation" while their goal is development. If you want to see parking lots, go to Vegas.
