The posting of this idea is intended to create a discussion among hikers. This is not intended to offend anyone, but possibly open the minds of a few....
Radical Proposal:
-close all hostels
-cancell all hiker rates
-end all trail magic
-tear down all shelters
-cancell all hiker shuttling
-urge all to never pick up a hiker hitcher
-end all amennities of any kind to hikers
-reprimand abusive hikers more seriously
I understand that this will never happen and for very good reasons, but what if it did? Do you think it would improve hiker behavior, make it worse, or have no affect at all. How do you think it would change the type of people that are attracted to the trail.
Again no offense. I do not really want any of this to happen, but I do think it is an interesting idea. What do you think?
