If I see a guitar go by all bets are off.

I guess my group better not pass db.  Although we frequently bring a guitar, it comes out of it's case very little.  I think it's a big hassle, but the guy who carries it really loves to sit on a rock and play before it gets dark at least once or twice a trip.  No playing after dark or in the morning, and no loud jamming.  If we're in an area with lots of campsites, he'll judge how loud the other groups are before playing.  Overall, pretty darn considerate, but I hear you db.

Seems like a lot of folks on this site want and expect absolute solitude/silence.  Wally's suggestion to go further north rings true.  I guess that since my expectation is that we're not going to get that due to other groups within earshot, I'm ok with some noise.
