I think 100% of all hikers intend to do a lot of things and end up  
changing their plans. With the exception of Mendorider, I have yet to  
meet a long distance hiker who can resist the allure of a hot meal,  
especially if it can be had without too much of a detour off the  
trail, and sometimes even a big detour isn't a deterrent.
