........ In general, I probably have less of a problem with stone cairns than with log furniture.  Still, piling stones up still sticks "the hand of man" into your face just when you're trying to get away from that hand and INTO the wilderness.  Bottom line: my general preference is to minimize evidence of the hand of man whenever possible. ..........
