Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 7 hours ago, Gugny said: At first, I tried to make sense of it as just an, "after sunset parking permit," which it's framed as on the NYS Govt site. But it also explicitly specifies, "for stargazing only." I'm seriously at a loss for words. I think the point is you can park for the purposes of stargazing only If they find you nestled up for the night in a tent, or drinking, or smoking, or necking, (or drinking smoking and necking) instead of looking up at the sky they can kick your ass out. Aren't those parks normally closed to everyone after dark at times of the year when camping isn't available? So it's not as though they let everyone and his cousin Murgatroyd park and walk around, but throw out anyone caught looking at the sky. They keep everyone out, but say they'll make an exception if you want to go stargazing. 1

Thank God there are so many sensible people hear to drop the hammer on misleading "I hate NYS threads."

Places with camping has to be open 24 / 7 Many years back they banned drinking at local parks in Rochester unless you were having a picnic. Solution. Set a propane grill on the table with a package of hot dogs and buns. (never mind that they are weeks old and stale)
