You STILL don't get it! The impact of the presence of humans is much
greater than would be expected from the area of the trail, since
animals can smell and hear people from over a mile away. You continue
to ignore that FACT pointed out by Ed Grumbine in _Ghost Bears_ (I
know, you haven't read that, either).
