[pct-l] Stehekin

[jason moores]

I have one last thing to say about Stehekin, and that is to reiterate what both monty and ed pointed out.

The Courtney's (Cliff and his sister-in-law Robbie own the ranch and bakery and are bidding for the '09 concession at the Landing) love Hiker Trash and will go well beyond the norm to ensure that your stay with them is pleasant.

Stehekin is a hiker Haven and Heaven. Few could argue the beauty and serenity that exists in this remote village. A few years back a cell company offered to set up towers to bring Stehekin into the new millennium. Petitions  were signed by almost all 100 inhabitants to prevent this from happening. To this day only a few sat. phones and the internet conect these people with the rest of the world. Hundreds of miles of trail radiat from the valley. The only way in or out is by boat, plane or foot. That's my kind of town.

By opening the discussion about the possibile problems that might be faced with the overwhelmed postal service here, I in no way wished to discourage anyone from visiting the valley. I merely felt that something as important as this was worth discussing.
