[pct-l] Hiker Cliques

[Hiker97]

L-Rod writes: Social bonding is a really powerful thing, and we see "cliques" all the time, whether the members of the clique realize they are in one or not.  Separated from their clique, they are like fish out of water, and don't 
assimilate easily into a new group (perhaps the new group puts out subtle, unconscious barriers to potential new members).

Switchback replies: That is why I only hang around Trail Pirates and hard core hiker trash.  Those are the people who will be at the Warner Springs Resort dinners on April 23 and 24.  No problem.
