I've been camping in this little spot for 35 years. I've been taking my kids there since they were in diapers - literally. I go there 2 or three times a year.
The Henepin Canal, used to be called the Illinois Mississippi Canal. The state took it over several years ago and made it a state park or something.
They changed the Name to the Ronald Reagan Memorial Bike path the day he croaked. I went there about 2 weeks later and guess what.
THEY PAVED THE F*&^ THING OVER. They PAVED OVER MY CAMPING SPOT WITH ASPHALT!
Camping isn't allowed, camp fires aren't allowed. It was the middle of nowhere and just then, when I was mother fucking Reagan, an old white haired lady - she must have been in her 70's came riding up on an old blue bike - she was actually carrying a purse and wearing a dress and espadrilles.
I went slack jawed... I was devastated and haven't been there since.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot - literally.
