[pct-l] JMT Land Speed Record

[Deems]

Any time you are fortunate enough to meet Reinhold on the JMT, as I was in 
2005, when he is trying to best his own JMT record, you will find him 
dressed in his finest trail attire. Perfection expressed in scrounginess, 
wearing the finest plaid boxers, a 3 day beard, and an exuberant trail 
spirit pursuing a dream that would kill almost any young extreme marathon 
runner. This record is held with honor by Reinhold today, and I hope for 
another year. He will hold the 63 yr old hiker record for the JMT probably 
forever!!
