[pct-l] the pct and memory

[Jeff Moorehead]

I have definitely experienced this as well. I figure that if this finally 
happens enough times and you are able to recover the entire hike by memory, 
then you'll finally have 'conceptualized' the whole experience. For some 
strange reason, I am getting these lucid flashbacks from points much earlier 
in my hike, rather than later. I can remember some stretches of southern and 
northern Cali much more easily than I can Oregon, even though I visited the 
latter more recently. Maybe one of the neurologists on the trail can explain 
this phenomenon. Maybe I'll get around to Washington in a couple of months.
