...Most of my backpacker friends are pretty considerate and careful with what they leave behind, but the more occasional, vacation trip backpackers seem to be the major offenders.
Ah hah! I think I've spotted the real problem.
The "good" backpackers are Bob's friends. It's those damn "vacation" backpackers who are desecrating the wild places.
What's the solution? Get them to backpack when they're not on vacation? Become "Backpackers who are Friends of Bob's" (BPWAFOB)'s?
And Burchey - you might look up "sodomites". Is that really what you intended to say? I mean - I know lots of people who have hiked Whitney, including myself, and to the best of my knowledge, none of them practice sodomy.
Well, maybe one or two. What they do on their own time is their business.
