[pct-l] Unprepared hikers

[Ellen Shopes]

I've seen some 'over-prepared' hikers there, too.  One time, anticipating a 
great meal after hiking in, I found some campers with their hibachi, 
charcoal, and a cooler of steaks and beer.  Must not have read the regs 
about no fires in the Grand Canyon.  (Don't worry, I loaned them a stove.)

The suitcase story reminds me of one i heard in the canyon. It was late at 
night and already dark when there was a knock at the door of the Ranger 
cabin at Indian Gardens. It was a Japenesse couple who had resvations at the 
camground but they thought it was going to be a hotel so they had no camping 
gear. Laughingly the ranger gave them a place to sleep for the night 
suitcases and all.........
