[pct-l] OC Weekly Columnist calls us dirty hippies!

[Mike Saenz]

Oh for heaven's sake!

Like the Weekly is a bastion of journalistic integrity....

So "Commie Girl" thinks OUR trailnames are pretentious!

One can only assume the ads in the back are not the real names of those
"ladies"...

I'm still shaking my head over this one...

Commie Girl, a columnist for OC Weekly who usually covers nightlife,
politics and drinking went on vacation last week and met some
thru-hikers.
Here's her take on us:

"We also met hippies, as Edison Lake is an outpost on the Pacific Crest
Trail, so they were hippies hiking from Mexico to Canada, and if you
called them "dirty," you would be utterly justified. I didn't mind the
dirt (or the smell), but the fact that they had "trail names" just
killed me. "I'm Solar," they would say, because when you're building
your own society at the top of a mountain, you're not bound by the
strictures of the society in the outside world! Nice to meet you. I'm
Pretentious Twit."
