That's fine for newbies or people that want to do that, but I hope it's NEVER become a requirement for everyone to have that facetime with a ranger.

I usually go in before park official opens, but one time I went thru a "lecture" about the Q when I got my permit at park office in Atikokan. Even though I told her I had been many times and solo most of them, she "insisted" I listen and so I did.

Good stuff for newbies, just old hat for experienced paddlers.
Next year it was same gal and even though she recognized me, she wanted me to hear it again. I declined, she wasn't happy.

I wouldn't want to be "required' to listen and IF there was enough people going in or getting a permit, I could see that could become a time/space issue IF they make it mandatory?
