Yeah, I used to be Team FCFS ... then I rolled into Cottonwood a few years back (March 2018) and it was such a shit show that I sadly vowed never to go back. To me it seemed like these more easily accessible spots had become so overburdened that something had to be done, or they'd be forced to just throw in the towel and close it to camping altogether. Going to give Cottonwood/Marble another shot to see what the new system is like. If it doesn't pan out I'm sticking to the (way)backcountry from here on out. Anywho, fun times!
