    They canceled their reservations and shafted the place they made reservations at. That means they are dishonest and unreliable. I would not put faith in the reliability of those alleged hikers and...

    Morals and moral character are not based on technicalities and written law. So, yes, greedly emptying all the contents of a hiker box into your pack is technically allowed, but that does not make it...

    This should be entertaining, as long as they don't make that baby actually hike. Has anyone got any ideas about diapers? It will be hard teaching that baby to poop in a hole in the ground.
