As you see from the discussion, some crews experience bad programs. Don't
waste your time trying to find a program to avoid.

Some camps always seem to charm people.

I was with a Scouter who had been on three north treks, and was excited
about going on a south trek because he had heard Beaubien was pretty. What
he found was that the whole trek was pretty, even though there wasn't a
mountain (Baldy) to look at each day.

When I look back over my last two trips, the best time I had were on days 9,
10 & 11. Was this because I had gotten in shape, because the trek was
almost over or because we were in great camp sites (Crater Lake and Shafer's
pass in 2000 and Clarks Fork and Tooth Ridge in 2002)?
