<< little use the Grand Canyon staff has made of the noncommercial public.
Story: there was a young boatman for Adventure Bound who was energied and
spent it hiking. Everywhere. He found a small cave containing a
shredded-bark bed and a bow stave, presumably Fremont or even Desert
Archaic. He was really proud of this, and I was excited. I got the
regional office involved. Later he called them to ask what they'd learned
from his find. They told him, "Owing to the senstive nature of these items
and possible penalties with the Antiquities Act, we don't release any
information about archaeological sites to the public."
"But I found it. I just wanted to know about..."
"I'm sorry, but we have a policy here not to disclose to the public...."
So he called me and told me, "Fuck it. I'm going to keep hiking and I'm
going to find other stuff, and I'm not going to touch it, but I'm not going
to tell you. And I'm sure as hell not going to tell them."
