On that note, aside from off season hiking, are there any good suggestions
on avoiding getting caught up with this type of herd? Based on the blogs
I've been following for the 2013 group, it seems to be a recurring theme of
group-think, and folks 'dealing' with the trail to get to the next town
stop. For 2014 I plan to start early (conditions permitting) with the idea
of the hike taking precedence over the social experience.
