Why would anyone take a yoke without at least leaving a crappy one? Big group by accident? Maybe.

Like no one will come back for it since a yoke isn't really needed and whoever forgot it wouldn't notice until they were unpacking at home?



Answer:  Same reason people carve their names on rock ledges and in the bark of trees...people are morons....

If we are to preserve our wilderness and our wilderness experience, we must act and be people of integrity.  This means putting other peoples needs ahead of our own.Why doesn't the Golden Rule apply when no one else is looking?

Sorry, I'm preaching to the choir.  I just find myself becoming increasingly disillusioned with the lack of regard for those who have come before us...and after us.

Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend!
