[pct-l] An email I sent to Ron

[DA]

Yes...yes...and yes.  Example: met pct thrus this year at VVR. One explained how info, from a "supreme" lister not only was totally wrong, but they had found out the "supreme" had never been on the pct.

Trail angel is a decision of yours, only.  I don't expect anything but correct info.  The "herd" and the "kickoff" are results of micro economies built by those wanting to profit.

But just cause you strap on a trail name and enter your fake world does not exempt you from the constitution, federal law, and state laws.  The kickoff needs no more "seminars".  The people who broke into the home are not PCT'ers, the guy who stole the car is not a PCT'er, and they should be arrested and charged.  Litter, arrested and charged.  No bear can, fined, no permit fined.

And, as I told two hikers I pulled off banner this year, I wish I could, or the NFS could charge you 5K each 
for the SAR.  

There are still laws in the pct wonderland of trail angels and trail names. No more seminars, no more advertising on the PCTL, just hike.  

That's all!

I didn't see the original email.  Not all messages are sent to my mailbox for some reason.
 
But, I think I know what you are talking about.  There ARE some folks on the pct-l, who even though they are not backpackers, by association, feel they are entitled to spew forth their views as if they are the almighty.  I could care less that they are trail angels who open their homes to hikers; that does not give them the right to tell me how to hike the trail.  I really believe that if I can eventually try a thru hike, there ARE some trail angel stops I will avoid.   
 
I would leave the list if I were you and get on with your hike. 
 
Happy trails!

Read the original email.  Not pissed at pct hikers, just those that "assume" control.

WTF is your problem?  Why are you so pissed off at Pct people? Did you do something you shouldn't have done and now you are feeling guilty?  

Man, just hike and all will be ok. The wilderness cures all.
