That's the second time recently that you mentioned drugs.  Is there a "drugs" 
problem I'm not aware about?  Coke, heroin, crank, crack, LSD, are we 
shrooming on the trail or at the Gatherings?  

You don't mean "the evil weed" do you?  Can't be too evil, Alaska is about to 
legalize it (again) for personal usage.  Of course the Feds, and the 
outspoken, will probabaly get in the way (again). 

So what was the problem and how and why do you feel it affected YOUR hike?
