My point is that the great thing about the PCT is that it stands on it's own 
as a wild trail.  Unlike the AT, which is packed by people who have no 
problem cramming together in "shelters" or hiking on pavement, the PCT, at 
least when I "discovered" it, was still relatively "wild".

There are those here, however, who see the PCT as a blank canvas, and like a 
real estate developer, only want to impose their own vision of backpacking 
on it, complete with "parties" and "introductions to hiking" or whatever 
vanity/profit driven motivation they have.

Social structures attract people, and it is for this reason alone that I 
detest those who seek to impose them on the PCT.

My statement is clear: leave the PCT alone for those who want to hike it on 
their own in peace.

DON'T "AT" THE PCT - JUST LET IT BE!  (yes it's corny)
