[at-l] Slackpacking, respect for others, and Hiking One's Own Journey.....

[Snodrog5@aol.com (Snodrog5@aol.com)]

 When GAMEs get to Katahdin the overwhelming majority don't haul their pack 
up the hill. Thruhikers leave their backpacks on the porch of the Ranger 
Cabin, borrow a day pack, and finish the last 5.2 miles of their northbound 
hike. One day last last September, Ranger Bruce gave out all 30 of his 
daypacks!
 Same thing in the Spring, all but a few leave that 
packed-for-the-100-mile/45-pound-beast below, and "slackpack" up the AT. 
TJ < has slacked more than a few 'tween Daicey and Abol Bridge
