As a long time section hiker, I have always tried to be very courteous not 
only to other hikers but to the trail in general.  However, I sometimes 
wonder about the unwritten rules of courtesy.  For instance, leaving the 
shelters for thru or long distance hikers.  It makes sense to me that a lot 
of people wouldn't have any way to know this if they were just out for the 
occassional overnight.  
       So my question is, what do you guys consider good trail ettiquitte?  
Enquiring minds really want to know!! *S*  Anna
PS- Besides not hollering into your cell phone at the shelter!  *G*  I think 
I've got that one!! *BG*
