I think it's quite unfair to disparage the trail angels who stock the
caches. Sure, they feel good about helping hikers out, so what's wrong with
that? It makes me feel good to help out hikers by hosting them in San Diego
and driving them to the trailhead. I don't think that means I'm trying to
exercise control over anyone or pander to them. The most wonderful thing
about the trail is being part of the PCT community, both hikers and those
who support them.

Just had to chime in on this one

.  I agree with everything she said.  We have trail angels who are doing
marvelous things for the hikers.  We have people helping out hikers with
rides to various places.  We also have the ADZPCTKO  which I have supported
since it started, I  enjoy it. And of course we have those great folks who
supply the water caches.

They all fall into the same category.  "They want to help you".

 As said so much on this list HYOH.. You could hike the entire trail without
benefit of any of the folks wanting to help you. And I think  there are a
number of folks who do just that and do not even belong to any PCT list or
even feel they belong to any PCT community.

 

Cheers,

Marge the old gal.
