[pct-l] a** of 2009

[Len Glassner]

The graffiti takes the form of a trivia question on one marker post,
followed by the answer on the next.  It's not low-brow stuff. It's
being done by an intelligent but malevolent person.  I don't think
this person will respond to scoldings.

Maybe another hiker, preferably about 250 and 6-4, will catch them in
the act and straighten things out.  Or maybe it will stop when the
markers move to trees and other things that don't lend themselves to
several word comments.  I'm only at mile 109, and have seen for just
50 miles, maybe that's it.
