[pct-l] Trail Awareness - Trail Proximity ...

[stillroaming]

My guess is folks are seeing the '10%'.

As trail awareness grows, so will that 10%. While educating folks on trail 
ethics is necessary, inundating folks with trail ethics is not a solution by 
itself. You will always have people leaving trash, writing on rocks with 
markers, stealing services, etc, no matter how effective you communicate 
trail ethics. These folks probably have equivalent behavior in the 'normal' 
world. And they aren't going away.

The only real solution is limiting people. This just won't happen, nor 
should it. With that said, entities exist that depend on this influx of 
people for their own well being. Bigger is better, more is better.

The bottom line is, the more people who come to the trail, the more you'll 
see bad behavior.
