[Geysers] GPS coordinates

[Steven Miller]

Hi All
SPEAKING AS A PRIVIATE CITIZEN!
I for one do not like the idea that Joe Tourist and his family armed with a 
little GPS unit and Scott's book will try and find features in backcountry 
areas. Think of the damage that could be done to Bat Pool and or the bats 
with people trooping around. Little Joey decides to play with the bats by 
pushing a stick into the crack in the rock. Or he runs out on to the shelf.
Think of the people gathering cinders from cinder pool!
OK I am an extremist.
It is not just the Geyser Gazers who read Scott's book but a lot of tourist 
coming to the park who do not respect (both the beauty and the dangers) the 
geyser the way Gazers do that I worry about.

Just my opinion
