[pct-l] Trail Town Etiquette, does it exist?

[matthew romero]

   Trail town etiquette-   DONT BE A JERK.  seriously, thats it.  Have fun, do your thing, don't make us all look bad.  Case in point: an unnamed hiker this year at the Natures Inn got absoultely obliterated drunk, grabbed a bike to ride owned by the hotel and lost it in his drunkeness, made an embarrasing scene to the owners, and the next day accused other hikers of  stealing some of his gear.  When the reality is, he was an idiot drunk and misplaced his things. Luckily the owner had expierence with hikers before and knew this to be the odd case and was cool.  Honestly though, we want towns to be excited to know that we will be coming through and to welcome us, and for the most part they are with the odd exception (starts with T and ends with  -ehachapi haha)    So don't go looking for an actual list of etiquette, just be a decent person which im sure you all are, and remember that the first 1000 miles weeds out all of the a-holes, so thats a good thing too i guess.  Every hiker is an advocate for the trail whether you like it or not, so be cool.
