/out/, I was doing some off-trail backpacking recently, and was leaving cairns to mark my way. Nothing too big, two or three small rocks stacked on semi-visible locations. Much smaller than pic related.

On the wau back, I wondered if I shouldve destroyed them to preserve the remote feel of the location.

Ultimately I decided to leave them sinceI wanted to come back to the area, and they marked a known route towards a nearby peak that others might follow. Further, O didnt leave so many that one would be 100% able to follow them without a map.

What does /out/ think? Should I leave them there or destroy them when I go back?
