[pct-l] [SPAM] Needs to be said

[Robert E. Riess]

We have not yet begun to witness what this year's crop of rookies will try 
to get away with.  I am expecting litter, graffiti, drunkenness, theft, 
noise, rudeness and all manner of unsociable behavior.  It is not a private 
matter.  When it reflects unkindly upon the trail, it reflects unkindly upon 
all hiker.  You can tell a lot about the people from their note.  Nobody 
"backpacks" the PCT.  Hikers carry packs.  Middle school kids carry 
backpacks.  I'll bet they talk about the Sierras, too.  Sierra is plural. I 
hope there are enough veteran hikers out there to teach the newbies their 
trail manners, and I hope they are not shy about doing it.  Before folks 
rail back at me, I freely acknowledge I have almost no long distance hiking 
credentials.  But I know slobs when I see them.  BR

The sense of entitlement of some individuals is totally out of control.

I'll give props where its due to the PCTA in calling out this BS behavior by 
the bad apples.  It's in stark contrast to some other user groups that shall 
remain unnamed where their organizations are silent at best on bad behavior 
their user communities.
