Just food for thought - many people don't appreciate cairns because of their distinctly unnatural appearance. I used to build them until I learned this. In hindsight it makes sense, people ought to be able to enjoy the environment as close to its natural state as possible, with the somewhat necessary exception of the trail.
- musingsole 6y agoEveryone has an opinion. I'd encourage you not to just accept others. Cairns have a long tradition in hiking and at their most basic are a simple wave to a fellow wanderer in remote areas. Dark Souls has the same concept as a built-in game mechanic with it's tagging. I don't build them myself because I don't have the patience (and dogs tend to make sitting still problematic :P), but I appreciate most every one I see for what it is: someone came to this same place I'm enjoying and did so in such a calm and focused manner, there are stacked rocks to show for it. I can imagine that someone somewhere has built a massive cairn with disregard to the site and the other wanderers there. That person sucks.
- corndoge 6y ago> I'd encourage you not to just accept others. You should be more hospitable in interpretation and use less passive wording. I agreed with someone else after hearing their point of view. Implying I'm a hapless sheep that agrees with whatever I'm told for that is going a bit far.
