Seems to me that the bus is bringing major tourism to the area... I mean, I know this was against the original point of him visiting there, and the "commercialisation" if it is a bit of a drag... But hey! Be proud that international travellers are passing through and pumping money into local businesses that they ordinarily would never have gotten! I'm aware that Alaskans are somewhat scornful about the activities of the individual involved, but his legacy is keeping local businesses in profit! Let's not pretend that the area in question in London, New York or Paris! It's a remote, barely visited wilderness! You telling me that local residents aren't feeding their families with the rewards that passing travellers bring? You're talking rubbish... And as for people "not supposed to being there!" Erm, excuse me, are you God? Are you Mother Nature? No! You're an idiot local, with a chip on their shoulder and a sense of entitlement to a place of natural wonder, that you don't own! I don't own. Nobody owns! It's not for YOU to state that ANYONE shouldn't go ANYWHERE on this planet! It's mankind's prerogative to be liberated and boundaryless
