[pct-l] airwaves! And Questions

[drifter at tmail.com]

OK, I'm the new guy here so maybe I shouldn't say anything, however I'd 
like to share some experience.  Most sailors dislike powerboaters and 
vica versa.  That being said, no one group has less or more fun on that 
ocean because they are a member of one particular group.  The thing is, 
its a big ocean out there with room for everybody.  Even PWCs.  The same 
holds true IMHO in the wilderness including the PCT or any 'T' for that 
matter.  There's even room for ATVs so long as they keep away from me!  
Lets explore our similarities instead of our differances.  It makes it 
easier to get along!

I got my books from Yogi today and am already half way through the 
Handbook and have a couple of questions.  Given that I'm no spring 
chicken anymore, I'm a fairly slow hiker.  What I'd like to know is how 
much water does one usually carry when the next known source is say 20 
miles away.  This may or may not be more than a days hike for me.  I 
won't know till I get there!  I can do 15 easy here, but this is not the 
desert.  (Yes I've hiked and lived in the desert but I've always planned 
my hikes around pleanty of water.  I've never measured my intake.)  
Secondly, I see where there is a gathering in April near Campo.  Is it 
worth the trip from northwest WA?  Would probably take the train (Coast 
Starlate) as its cheaper than flying and more comfortable than the Dog 
Bus.  Thanks

Beyond this point
