Hiker raises questions after witnessing infuriating trend growing on secluded trails: 'Have the rules ... changed?'

A user on Reddit's r/hiking encountered an oddity in The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in Aptos, California, prompting them to seek perspective from fellow hikers. "Have the rules to 'leave no trace' changed or something?" was the title of the post, a reference to seven universal principles published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for spending time in nature without harming the wilderness or its wild inhabitants.
