It is somewhat hard to be enthusiastic about LNT in much of SoCal,
while hiking over empty beer cans and discarded shotgun shells, or
under freeway overpasses. Not that we should mess things up more than
they already are.

In the pristine areas, of course treat them well. My point is simply
that one standard can't be applied to the whole trail.

Try that in SoCal too. :-(

HYOH, YMMV
