[pct-l] I have a problem

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

Matt,
Paul,

To heck with your friends.  Do this hike for yourself.  If you want this experience to be a social experience you will have significant opportunity to meet and hike with numerous folks.  Many folks have made life-long friends along the trail.  Or, if you would prefer to find solitude and enjoy the trail as more of a solitary experience you can do this as well.  I would not encourage you to "wait for your friends".  If you do, you may find that you are not compatible along the trail anyhow.

Enjoy,
Elevator
