[pct-l] Alternative Letter to BLM re Golden Oak Springs

[Donna Saufley]

Of course we all know the AT and PCT would not exist if it were not for
government dollars, in appropriating the trail, and in building and
maintaining it.  Not to mention the government employees who oversee it, and
who put the backcountry rangers out there to help folks. 

Jon is entitled to his opinion.  Those letters are supposed to be directed
to the agencies, however, he posted them here for a purpose -- he has a
penchant for stirring things up and getting everyone riled.  Don't give him
the satisfaction by taking the bait.

so, um... assuming you're a pct hiker (maybe you're not? i don't really 
know, i've never met you on the trail), doesn't the existence of the pct 
itself constitute a case of the government helping *you* in *your* sport?

...so much for common sense...
