[pct-l] Trail Etiquette

[Bighummel at aol.com]

Poor supply town trail etiquette may be the source of the "hoard" problem 
that has been variously contributed to the timing of the ADZ.  Every year at this 
event we have been specifically focused upon issuing the overall message that 
thru-hiker's behavior in trail supply towns effects all of the trail 
community and especially those who follow in their footsteps.  This is another reason 
to hold the event at the southern terminus where there is a "first up" 
opportunity to sell this message to all.    However, no matter what we preach we 
cannot ever expect to have all of the sheep behave accordingly.
