“We would have been cooking food together, gathering water together, and hearing each other’s conversations. Therefore, we politely declined and suggested they check for sites at the lower lake about a mile and a half back,” he said.
The group of hikers was clearly upset by the couple’s answer and continued to try and convince them to share the site.
The group explained that it wasn’t fair that they were taking up the entire space and kept insisting that they just move their tent to make enough room for the both of them. However, the couple stood strong in their decision, and the group ended up leaving the lake.
“My wife’s and my backpacking philosophy has always been to set ourselves up for success by arriving early. The whole point of backpacking for us is to get away from social obligations and be in solitude,” he added.
Do you think that it was rude of them to decline to share the space with the other hikers? Or do you think it was unreasonable for the hikers to expect them to accommodate them?
