I agree with Bloo too.....approach is everything. Yes I agree it would suck if something bad happened that you could have helped avoid but at the same time I believe in the "freedom of the Hills" ideal. Who am I to tell someone else what or how to do something (I know this is a little different situation, but still...). You dont necessarily know everyones story just by seeing them and think you know, then again your hunch could be dead on. I remember being pretty peeved quite a few years ago when trying to drive the beach and couldnt get up a hill on the first try. A bunch of people tore the HELL out of it before us but we gave it one shot, didnt make it, backed up to let more air out and to fill on the ruts others left when some "do-gooder" decided to come strolling over the hill from the other side. He must have thought we tore up the hill for the last 45 minutes and that we had no experience because he had to tell us all about what we had to do, why we had to do it and what we were apparently(??) doing wrong. we politely agreed, smiled and nodded and "yep, yepped him". Thinking to ourselves "really?" Trust me we did know what we were doing and needed to do...nuff said
I guess my point is while its possible a situation could be what it looks like they arent ALL what they could appear to be and some people may not take very kindly to you butting into their business! Which brings me back to the approach is everything!
