"Oddly enough, we didn't see any stickers past the 1.5 mile point. Couldn't make it the whole way?"

Part of people staying members of PF is that they have to do something that shows they're advancing the movement. The most common way is stickers or their spray paint tagging. So they will hike in a little bit, plaster their shit, take a photo for their discord or group chat to prove their shit and leave.

Don't ever expect to see it miles into a trail. That's not the point. This is why, it's a known tactic of the group. Since they're so online based, it's not hard to find out their tactics and membership and all of that.

I will bet money the PF members doing this shit are young college aged men with some fucked up views of the world.

Anyone ever bother to try to catch them and actually talk with them and see why they have all sorts of fucked up views? There's got to be some Darryl Davis types in Springfield.

Not that I've seen but you're probably right. PF specifically markets to young men aged 18-25. I'm sure there's someone who helps them come back out of said rabbit hole, but I don't know if there is one in Springfield.
