[pct-l] RECORD SECTION HIKES

[Tortoise]

Steel-Eye, you've got me beat.

I didn't start hiking the JMT until 1973 and just did a 5½ miles up and 
back on the PCT along Girder Creek.  I've got almost all the PCT to do 
yet. I've section hiked the JMT/PCT from Tuoloumne Meadows to Guitar 
Lakes and then on to the top of Whitney and out.  So I've got lots and 
lots to do.
