Nevada parks officials will spend more than $8.5m addressing a boom in illegal roads at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the public lands around the sprawling man-made reservoir above the Hoover Dam.

Officials have documented at least 824 miles of illegal roads in the recreation area, but suspect the true amount could be double that. The unpermitted development prompted officials to close the popular campsite Government Washin August.

Why is it always white people?

I realize this is months old, but I just can’t let it go.
In Feb 2007 I had to go to Hickam AFB for an aircraft rescue. While there I was able to go to the USS Arizona memorial. There were a lot of people going and about half were Japanese.
Inside the memorial there are signs in Japanese and English explaining the significance and telling people to be respectful. One Japanese man got a cell phone call and just started loudly talking to whoever was calling. Leaning against the wall while doing so.
It’s not always white people.

That’s a very emotional tour. I went several times while stationed there. I was always surprised at the large number of Japanese tourists there.

You sure he's Japanese and not Chinese? That behavior is very uncharacteristic of Japanese. Of course, he could have been Japanese/American.
