Letter to the Editor

A vote for civilization over camping

To the editor:Elemental forces are involved in the Utah tragedy. Fun on a camping trip. Lots of tales. "No one has ever been killed by a bear. Bears love us."

I vote for civilization. A locked steel door and a bowl of cereal are better than a Vacant Chair at breakfast table. A firetruck at midnight is helping my neighbor in trouble.
