Root rot and Old Growth Forests

As we headed to Rockport, we planned to camp at Rockport State Park which is an old growth forest.  When I arrived to scope out a camp site, it was closed.  Apparently there has been no overnight camping for the last four years.  Apparently the old trees are experiencing root rot and the powers that be figure that you can get out of the way if you're hiking, but if you're asleep in your tent, you just might not get out of the way!

The park was beautiful and it would have been nice to have more time to hike.
