OTOH, a  trail pirate who has accumulated vast amounts of ill gotten loot 
over the  decades should fetch a hefty ransom. And you have rich friends back in 
LV,  which is full of rich gamblers.  If I don't hear from you again, it's  
been nice knowing you.

I wish you had not brought that up.  I had not wanted  to talk about ransoms. 
 I figured I would turn a quick profit at the  auction and then take off for 
the south rim.  Now someone might get the  idea of taking me hostage or an 
ambush before I can get away.  The price  would be all my profits and may be me.  
 
So, it looks like I might be subject to ambush coming  up the trail just like 
in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid.   There are certain people 
on the PCT-L that would do that.  Ambush the Trail  Pirate with his booty.  
There are people that would do it just for the  sport and not even worry about 
the booty.  I know exactly who some of  those people are too.
 
I know.  I will fool everyone  and head for the north rim.  Cool.  Once again 
the Trail Pirate will  out fox the evil Terminator Female Leadership types 
and rowdy  ambushers.
