Sort of like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it really make a noise?  I did not do well in Psych 101, however, the PAX on this bright Monday crushed it.  Knowing that those that did Mt Mitchell the previous day did not arrive home till late, I assumed they would be no shows.   Was not sure how many had hiked so had two weinke’s in mind.  The PAX was nine strong, so I went with option B.
