Improved shuttling coordination couldn't hurt but this isn't as helpful
as it might seem because starting earlier than the ADZ, at least in
the past few years, puts hikers into the Sierra a bit too early.
The one clear advantage of moving ADZ up the trail and later in
time would be to allow the shuttling solution to spread out
both north and *south* of the event giving hikers more flexibility
on start dates due to their own logistics or due to late-breaking
snow-melt considerations, while still being able to attend the ADZ.
