be located and what system for their use would work best. These issues are discussed in this report, which is written primarily for technicians and researchers who need better methods for obtaining information about wilderness recre- ation. The general plan of this report is as follows: First, the study areas are described so that the reader can compare them with what areas he wishes to study; by such comparisons he might better make his own specific applications of our work. Second, our general research pro- cedures are presented. Third, we describe the specifics of our formal experimentation with reg- istration station designs and use the analytical rhetoric of statistics to compare the designs tested. Fourth, we temper the statistical conclu- sions on designs with a consideration of other factors not included in the statistical analyses. Fifth, factors of the location of stations and system of station use are discussed on the basis of our observations. Sixth, some cost factors are considered. Seventh, a general summary of our conclusions and recommendations is pre- sented. In other reports stemming from our 2 years of study, we will consider the technical aspects of converting registrations to useful information and will present information obtained about recreation use on the study areas. Figure 1 .—Registration stations in general use vary in elaborateness of design. Usually, the response-elici- ting signs say merely "please register," "register here," or perhaps only "registration."
