Another consideration is if your next destination is a Trail Camp.
Since there is no program to miss, it could be a good opportunity to
take advantage of another program somewhere else. Of course you might
miss out on an opportunity to just kick back and relax too, which can
also be a very desirable "program" sometimes.

If your Trail camp is not far from another program an early morning
"appointment" might just work. For example an early crew out of
Websters Park could get to 'Cito in time for the early rock climb if
they were motivated.

Happy Trails,
