I've often wondered about the people that throw cans in the fire. Like the can is going to burn up in the fire and there won't be a bigger mess?
I carried out a fair number of water bottles. No big deal since they are light. Cans have sharp edges, which is why nobody takes them out. My meals on
the peak are just Clif bars and jerky.
Some people have taken to marking the trail with soda cans stuck on tree branches. It is somewhat effective. You really can't have too many markings
on the trail. I didn't need to use my GPS in several years due to increased markings, though I carry it anyway. The trail is really getting worn,
which is a good thing, but I don't see much photography on the net, probably due to a combination of expense and knowledge. I have a crude guide on
how to shoot the base from Tikaboo:
