Hi Doc,
Always appreciate your effort to organize trips. Is this posting supposed to be FYI only?
What is the point when you already have all available spaces reserved when posted. 8) :why:
Not sure where the "all available spaces reserved" idea is coming from - the trip is certainly open for signing (as of 2016-01-11 11:00). Although one spot has been reserved, the trip is not full. Full trips are always explicitly marked as such, example: http://goo.gl/50dwEh.
Note: even if a trip is full, it often makes sense to post it (somewhere), just look at the things from another angle, for example from the trip's organizer's point of view:
1. For legal reasons: make all participants to sign up personally to admit they have read and accepted that "organizer is not responsible (for damages)" - see "IMPORTANT" section in the post above (and all my trip posts for that matter). From my past (sad) alpine experience this could be the only piece available to the court of law to protect trip organizer from being sued.
2. Carpool / waiting list - if someone quits a full trip then the spot gets available for somebody else. Trip organizer should care about the drivers too (whom are hard to find by the way - everyone wants a ride even if some arrive driving very capable vehicles to the meeting place) : drivers should get compensated in full having all passengers to pay carpool fee. Here is what always disappoints me as a trip organizer - after a carpool was filled and the carpool shares have been assigned equally, one person leaves the trip last minute "not realizing?" that the unpaid carpool portion basically is going on the driver's shoulders.
3. Accidents / Emergency: the post contains route description - participants can get clear understanding if their abilities match. Their emergency contacts can read it too. In case of Search and Rescue activation, the emergency crew can access names and route details directly. My satellite messenger that I carry on the trips is always configured to be ready to send a link to the trip's post that police and SAR crew can follow: police can get to the trailhead and check on parked vehicles, rescue helicopter pilot will have a good idea where to fly over and drop the "foot-crew". This may save valuable time, often the most critical factor in such situations.
This club needs no illustrations of "the point" why to post trips - full or not. However, here is some more stuff to read and understand, whether if those people would have bothered to post somewhere their plans, who knows, their loved ones wouldn't be in such despair today: Missing Soul Searcher. |
