Leaving in two freaking days, with daughter, to do HMW nobo!!!....Did I mention how psyched we are!!! First use of dancing banana, seemed appropriate, I apologize .
I've seen the term 'stealth camping' and assume that's for parks that require you to camp at designated sites.
In the HMW, do you have to stay omly at the shelters? It seems from more than one reference that camping away from them is a much better experience due to mice, rude/smelly/humans, incredible view/site etc. I feel more inclined to not use the shelter simply due to a chronic reduction of patience over the years, lol, the other reasons all seem like bonuses to me. Is it okay, leaving the LNT principle of course, to camp away from the designated shelters? Baxter excluded, I already have a lean to reserved....ironically
Thanks all again for this invaluable site.....
