Seems like everybody wants to talk about the degradation around Grove of Titans/Monarch, when we all know that the coordinates were shared last year (since removed), plus it's general proximity doesn't help. I had actually found it before but I could still tell there was some loss. So, other than the few that have coordinates out there, most trees are relatively clean.<br />I also don't think it's bad for some to share coordinates (privately), as long the person is vetted. I know some have shared with me, and I-they, I think if someone is struggling with a tree, no prob to share. Again, only people I know well.<br />At the end of the day, there aren't that many people who actually get out there and bushwhack like us so as long as coordinates stay offline, pictures are great.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766981988332489746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919075481787202680.post-3856616231104864632014-08-06T16:56:39.542-07:002014-08-06T16:56:39.542-07:00Hi Jay,
You may be right. I've always felt no...Hi Jay,<br /><br />You may be right. I've always felt not sharing the locations of certain trees was a good compromise. It seems for the most part, sharing pictures is not a problem. I can also see how too much attention on certain trees can become a problem. After listening to both sides of the debate, I have to agree that everyone has to decide what is right for themselves. For my part, I'd like to shift the focus a little, perhaps practice a little restraint for now. I'd imagine there will still be plenty of pictures and stories of discoveries to inspire the next generation of hikers like your son!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751942555542399363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919075481787202680.post-33966117716469616832014-08-04T20:33:20.877-07:002014-08-04T20:33:20.877-07:00I just know how hard it was to find the trees I ha...I just know how hard it was to find the trees I have found. A tree, without coordinates or specific directions doesn't really help anybody. I don't get the uproar, personally. You know, as I do, how hard it is to bushwack to the trees, even with a picture. The problem is when people share locations. Pictures don't hurt in my opinion.<br />I will always post pics, while being respectful of locations. <br />To have no one posting pics is disappointing to the future hikers (thinking about my young son).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766981988332489746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919075481787202680.post-10413073344988473892014-08-04T20:32:36.235-07:002014-08-04T20:32:36.235-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766981988332489746noreply@blogger.com
