I've recently noticed an upsurge of political references on California's trails and peaks. To be fair, I'll mention examples of offenders from both sides of the political spectrum:
- "BLM" on summit registers (and not in reference to the Bureau of Land Management)
- People wearing Trump shirts and MAGA + KAG hats on the trail
Geez, I hike to get away from politics, not to remind myself of it. Leave that stuff at home!
