Subj: Re: [pct-l] Trail reports wanted


Do they want them? I've done a daily trail report  from Mexico to Santiam 
Pass, Pmailed to PCTA and people from the  Communicator masthead, along with a 
couple other names from As a Bat, in  07. Only one person, other than Brenda at 
PCTA, has ever  acknowledged my reports, or said they wanted them; that was 
Suzanne Wilson, S  CA Regional Rep, in 05. In 07 and 08, I emailed up to half a 
dozen people from  the masthead, before my hike, asking if they wanted them, 
with no replies; one  of the email addys wasn't even good. I think Brenda 
forwards my reports, but  still ... 
    I'm not looking for thanks, just a slight sign of  interest; it's a way 
of giving back, since I live nowhere near the PCT,  or any long trail. I'll do 
it again, this last PCT summer, but they'll be  a lot less detailed than the 
other three summers. If PCTA had a life  membership, I'd buy one, but ...

Now  that hikers are beginning early spring hikes on segments or sections 
of  the PCT, it is helpful to the trail volunteers/crew chiefs if you 
post a  trip report to this list.  Tell us where you went and what trail  
conditions you found that may need to be repaired, such as trees across  
the trail or tread damage.  This helps us know where to go to do  work 
before the thrus start their journeys.  The more specific you  can be 
about location, the better.  GPS locations are  ideal.

If you prefer you can look up the section chiefs on the  PCTA.org website
and communicate directly to  them.
