[pct-l] Great News for hikers with extensive backpacking experience

[hiker97 at aol.com]

Yes, I am going to set the most supported PCT record.  This is my goal.  But I would be glad to on the staff.  I will be the official chronicler and diarist.   I will be the keeper of the parchment and quill.  Later I will make big bucks on a book.

Switchback

Oh, of course. I should have known this. But it appears we may have lost Switchback to his impulse to make a super supported thru hike complete with soft chair and weight gain program. So if we can't entice him to join our highly experienced staff I can probably figure out how to boil water.
