Hello Fellow Hikers,
I finally learned how to get on this Board. Now I can stay on top
of all those Hikers I give lectures to on Skyline when they insist on
hiking the trail when its covered with snow. As I always tell hikers
who are not familiar with the trail, you are either an experienced
Alpine Hiker or an IDIOT. Not eveyone has been very receptive to
this comment. I don't mean to offend anyone, but if the regulars are
not on the trial, like Scott, Andy,Cy, Jack, Tina and myself, then obviously
we know better! It proves nothing to hike in these conditions and run
the risk of a rescue. On top of that, it makes it worse for the rest of
us who are not putting ourselves out there in danger. Its only a matter
of time before they close that trail down or make us get permits to
hike Skyline. That would be a shame to those of us who do the right
thing and act responsively.
Happy Trails Everyone
