This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Bah. I don't have a car and go to national parks "nearby" (about 100 km) using my bike and one thing that I find unfortunate is the lack of public transit to those places. So usually, what one can find at the bottom of a hiking trail, is a parking full of cars.

It's not a matter of politics but more about car culture. Like, watch any YT vlogger and most will go to their hiking trails with a car, or even a truck, exclaiming that they love nature.

Personally I have to make compromises when I invite someone hiking and/or camping. That means leaving the bike home and going to the trail or the camp site with a car. It's unfortunate but it's just how most people see spending time in nature.
