[pct-l] Fire and smokers

[Charles Williams]

Back in the day...I was finishing a JMT hike and had a couple friends pick me up in Yosemite Valley.  While we were waiting at one of the valley bus stops some guy finished his cigarrette and flicked it into the dirt at the stop.  My Friend and Hero, Stan Roy, walked over to it and picked it up and put it into the trash.  With a glare in the smoker's direction.  I hope he was embarrassed.  He should have been.

Some smokers are really careless. Yesterday I took a ten-mile + ride on my friend Primo out of my home in Agua Dulce. At on spot while passing through Vasquez Rocks Park I looked down from the saddle and saw a cigarette laying near the edge of a 3' wide part of the trail. It wad out but it did not appear that it had been put out. There was dry vegetation within inches. That's one way fires are started. Also, even if it is out, it is litter. I'm sure it was dropped by a careless day-hiker.
