Rogue's Gallery of Some Members of PCNST Class of 2002

Like its predecessor for 2001, this gallery includes many of the actual and prospective trail finishers or section hikers I encountered in 2002. I don't care how many years ago they may have started; if they finish the last foot of the PCT this year and I got their picture, they belong here.

I have photographed prospective through hikers in a group at ADZ and as I encountered them

near Mt San Jacinto in the first week of May,
between Trail Pass and Walker Pass the last week of May and first days of June,
between Sierra City and Carson Pass during the first week of July,
in the Mt Jefferson and Mt Washington wildernesses Aug 17-19,
In the Glacier Peak and Jackson wildernesses Sep 7-12.

So some hikers got more than one picture. I didn't ask for pictures when hikers seemed to be in too big a hurry to stop and chat, or when it was too late in the day and I was trying to get to my intended campsite, or when the bugs were too aggravating.

Other hikers, not attempting or not successful though hikers, are in the scenery page at the end.

Anybody with additional or corrected information about any of these hikers, please send the correct info to . Most of the "unidentified" hikers introduced themselves but I didn't write anything down and my memory isn't very good, so many may be mis-categorized. Building this gallery is a labor-intensive and error-prone process, so let me know of dead links.

To see the original full-size photo - sometimes a group picture - click on the small "thumbnail" picture below. My universal experience with this sort of gallery is that nobody likes his or her own picture but finds fascinating the other pictures of people he or she knows. So consider the former to be the price you have to pay for the latter.

To make downloading faster, this gallery is divided into several pages:

Successful trail finishers.
Prospective trail finishers - those who started out to through hike or finish the trail but whose outcomes are unknown to me.
Scenery - other hikers that were out for more than a day or a weekend but didn't finish the PCT in 2002.

Group photos at ADZ

I hope these were the prospective through hikers - I didn't get a good single group photo this year. Note that quite a few wrote their names on the roof of the Stehekin bus.
