Thank you for the coverage of State Parks' plight. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is struggling. Without rangers on patrol and maintenance staffing, Torrey Pines could slip back to its 19th century state of neglect when the City originally stepped in to protect it. Until a stable source of funding can be found, however, it is doubly important for visitors to respect the rules -- stay on trails, don't trash the restrooms, don't smoke, and pay the entrance fee! This rare and beautiful reserve attracts visitors from around the world. It also deserves the respect of the locals.
