[pct-l] nemo

For the most part it seems like all the hikers have been pretty cool at  
Drakebad.  Regardless of the Nemo incident, it's hard for me to believe the  
owners would come out and ban all hikers because one $6 tab wasn't paid  for.  It 
would be like a convienence store/gas station owner banning all  cars because 
someONE skipped out.  Unfortunately any bad incidents by  hikers leaves a mark 
on all of them, but how many motorists would send a  check to pay the guys 
bill?
 
I hope Drakesbad understands this.

i know  this is an old topic, just wanted to chime in on the nemo thing.  so  
sorry she had to go thru all that and glad she had a message posted to the  
list.  also wanted to say when i was at drakesbad shamu's trainer and one  
gallon, we were invited in for food and much of our conversation that night  
centered around...wonder how much this will cost or if it will cost  anything?  
like with nemo, it was "leftover" food from dinner that night  and nothing was 
mentioned before and while we were being served.   anyways, sorry nemo had to go 
thru all this as i know it was very ambiguous  when we were there too.  and 
while we all try to keep responsible and  follow rules to preserve a good 
reputation for hikers sometimes our  exhaustion/whatever gets the better of us.  to 
avoid extra walking that  night, we slept in the horseshoe pit in the middle 
of the resort and just rose  at day break.  technically we weren't supposed to 
do it but we hoped no  one would be bothered as they slept thru the 
night and hopefully never  knew we were there.
