A note from Anthony
It is interesting that this community does not have any published rules, which means the moderator one-liner is the most important guidance. The moderator is very clear that all posts must stay focused on hiking and backpacking in Northern California. Since no top posts were available for review, the best strategy is to stick closely to the helpful review and recommendation tips provided.
