I am not siding with or against Mendo Rider's email to the Forest Service,
but Timothy Nye's response to Mendo Rider suggest that "hike your own hike"
now means you can ignore campfire and other restrictions.  He would "not
presume to proscribe limits or penalties on others."  Come on!   All the
various official rules associated with hiking the trail are in some way
limits or penalties.   But they are there to protect the trail, the
environment that it passes through, and in some cases hikers.  Geez, Timothy
are you so afraid of being characterized as judgmental that you are willing
to let others violate the fire restrictions that are in place?
