Bluefish - Unfortunately that attitude is becoming more and more common. During the warmer months you'll see a lot of people in flip flops and, if you're lucky, they'll be carrying a small bottle of water they purchased somewhere. Even my students comment on it when they see people beginning a hike that we're coming out of around 3 PM. They know what they just carried for the day (10 Essentials, etc.) and they can't figure out how these folks are going to do the same trip in less time with no safety gear. At least I know my kids are "getting" it; which is a good sign for the future.

That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.
