63Chevyll: Yes I did take the quiz, and yes it is annoying, but as you said, I understand the reasoning. Even on easier trails down here in San Diego I'm always shaking my head at people who are not prepared or have no idea of what to expect on a hike, especially in this day and age with the internet. That's why I have my web site set up http://www.ihikesandiego.com/, to give people as much information as possible on trails so that they go in with eyes wide open and know what to expect.

I was planning on hitting the trail at 4am, and taking off from the Museum.

If you see three guys on the trail, I'll be the one with the red Osprey Atmos 65 strapped to his back. - say hi.
