You know what the problem with hiking these days is? The people. There you are, out on some remote trail in the Tongass National Forest, totally surrounded by pristine, primordial wilderness, and you're just starting to dig it and all of a sudden, up the trail walks a bunch of other people. And it's not like they are being loud or annoying or anything, it's just that with their baseball caps and bright colored clothing they just don't really fit in. It kinda breaks the illusion you know? Like when you go to a renaissance fair and you see someone dressed up as a knight talking to some guy in a sports team t-shirt and jeans. You know what they should do? They should make it a requirement that if you want to go wandering in the forest, you have to dress up like some kind of caveman or native or something, then at least people would seem to be a natural part of the environment.
You know what else would be cool? If internet service here in AK was more reliable. I've been offline more than online all week. |
