Nice to see so many thoughtful comments and ideas. I liked TacoLand's point that energy may be better used in education rather than other things. There is no stopping the Interwebz and information will make it's way to many places, including Instagram and AllTrails, etc. I certainly agree that the concern with that is the lack of preparedness from some hikers that may head out into the backcountry and find themselves in danger or dead. That's were having to put a little more effort than just open an App and follow the blue triangle over the red line in the map feels better. GPS used to be non-existent for the masses, then became more and more accessible and now there is an entire generation of people that does not know the world without it. In that regard education is really the only way.,, and hope for the best.
I was worried that people would feel that if you do a route that someone else has done before, that some hard feelings may crop. However, it is clear that is not the case. Which is great!
I do appreciate having that reaffirmed.
