ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- Skyrocketing fuel prices had officials around the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park so worried about the impact on
tourism that one town gave away free gasoline this spring.
Their fears appear to have been unfounded.
Visitation numbers at the nation's most-visited park are up 1.7
percent, with 3.8 million so far this year -- and leaf-peeping season
still to come. The rate means the nation's most-visited park is on
track to see 9 million guests this year, a spokesman said.
About the only thing that proves is that people are going to the local
parks rather than take longer trips.
What proof do you have that the number of people taking longer trips is
down? That's what I thought: NONE.
Thus far, NC weather has just about doomed any leaf-peeping that might
promise to lure tourists.
Is it October? No. Then how do you know "leaf-peeping" is "doomed"?
That's what I thought: YOU DON'T.
As for skiing, you'll probably see more skiers at the NC slopes this
winter, because people will stay near home rather than visit WV, VT,
or ME.... that is if we *have* any snow.
An undercurrent of pessimism and gloom & doom permeates the postings of
most libfags. Listen up, ****heads - just because you've ****ed up your
own sorry lives, underachieved and have ugly unshaven wives doesn't give
you the right to **** on your successful neighbors' parades.
Ok Bert. Have another beer.
