What would you like to see restored before you die?

Programs like the WPA and CCC to provide the public with some benefits for the dollars we shell out for various social programs.

I would like to see the WA DNR road I used for 20+ years to access a "Curtis Creek" reopened before I die

My urine stream (prostate joke for you younger gents) ...

Seriously though, just civility in the public discourse, including, and perhaps most of all, on the interwebs (though this place generally does pretty well).
 
My parents would've had a different answer than I might. I learned to drive a cat for my old man as a young boy (9? 10?) behind Lower Monumental Dam before they filled the reservoir. I remember the smudge pots on the gravel bars in the river the anglers used to stay warm during the fall/winter runs on the Snake. I've guide flies left by my maternal grandfather he used for fishing in Alaska in the '30s and '40s. I've a pic of my mom hunting mountain sheep up the Chewack in the late '50s.

For so many of us history began when we showed up. But it's much, much older. I think maybe tribal folks have a better perspective to answer this question, maybe there's some keystone act that, if reversed, would change all this stuff for the better.

So, my answer: Now that I'm a grandparent, I'd like to see the thing my grandparents would like to see restored, restored.
 
1) Public access.

2) The restoration of forest service and state parks employees running all facets of their respective areas, campgrounds, day use areas, launches, rather than the privatization of those services and areas.

3) Camping in America as it was prior to the 90's.

4) To a time when our inland waters were free of their current snail and mussel threats.
