[pct-l] Trail workers/thru-hikers

[Ken Murray]

I've done probably hundreds of days of trailwork on the PCT and other trails, and I don't recall a bad interaction with a hiker, ever.  Or I must have buried the evidence!

>From a gift standpoint, I agree with most everyone, a gift of a person's moment of time from their hike to thank us for the work is priceless.

One other thought:  I've often met people on the trail, meaning to look them up on trail journals later, only to have forgotten their names.  A small slip of paper with a trail name, URL, or some such, would be great.  nothing as elaborate as a business card.  I remember 10-some years ago running into Tahoma and Gazelle on July 4th at Red's Meadow on a Very heavy snow year, they were the first that year of ten people who finished, and I really enjoyed following their journal.
