RE: [at-l] GPS & misc.

I've was leading a backpack (10 people) out of Mohican

on the NJ section of the A.T. and unfortunately 
managed to drive several deer North on the ridge right

into 3 deer hunters, standing on the trail, with guns 
at the ready. This was near the firetower. Also knew
they weren't supposed to be there.
