. . . . . from the peregrinos. The Camino is many things to many people, including a sacred path, historic pilgrimage, and wonderful experience. The defacing of markers, signs, and monuments, and the trash, especially tissue, that litters the way disrespects this. Its time that pereginos past, present, and future take a stand to protect the integrity of the camino. Please follow the principles of Leave No Trace (e.g., pack out what you pack in). Those that are associated with camino organizations, please reach out to your constituency to educate them/us. Perhaps its time to create a modern Knights Templar whose mission is to protect the Camino? Ideas?
