At least she likes to fly fish.....

I did not know about that. I bet I am not alone. What a great concept.

After watching the video, the point that got to me like a laser strike was that the parks run by private companies are incintified to deliver a quality product in order to bring in customers. The Government run parks have the exact opposite incentive. The more visitors they have, the farther they have to stretch their fixed funding. It makes sense to me.

I am aware that some of the big National Parks, Yosemite comes to mind, have been managed by for-profit companies for years. The results have not always been great. Do they do a better job than the Government? Probably yes but greed is always a big factor. Yosemite under the Curry Company was a disaster. The new guys are better but not by much.
