Bee...Did you ever think there is not a solution and there is not be problem?
185 MMWT permits per day, 155 days of quota season...and this does not include those with permits outside the Inyo or day hikers to the Whitney Zone Boundary. Potentially 30,000 people. How many people die here during quota season a year 1 or 2...3 in a bad year?
I may be obtuse, but what is your message/question in this part of the statement?
"1,2 or 3 (deaths)in a bad year?" Totally "acceptable" ratio per captita?
As discussed -- at length -- the area in question (above) Mirror Lake seems to give many folks more than the usual amount of trail issues (meaning that I do not advocate signs everywhere). Are these people
all stupid? Should they all be considered as disposable?
Call me silly -- or stupid if you like -- but if just one person can be saved with a small sign, I would consider it well worth the effort
