The ADZ logo was created in 2000 and is copyrighted and may not be used for  
any purpose without the expressed consent of the ADZPCTKO board. Yep, the  
ADZ incorporated last year and violated its first rule. It is a classic  
design, if I do say so.

While at Castle Crags in July, the designated PCT hiker camp site, with the
spur trail to the PCT, had been signed by the State Park as being for "PCT
Hikers and PCT Bikers", only.  The sign stresses the need for the 3 dollar
fee so that hikers and bikers on the PCT could be assisted further.  This
was a new addition from last year and consisted of a printed sign taped over
the previous sign.

There is no doubt in my mind that merely reading this sign would encourage
and validate biking on the PCT; and that the results will accrue not just in
the present, but in the future.

My friend fell from his bike and he was treated by the "open
wet-dressing therapy". His wound cured rapidly. In Japan, this
treatment method was introduced  by TV, then  many doctors adopted
this technique.

This site was an experiment of of a doctor. This site was written in
Japanese, but you can easily understand the result of his experiment
by the photos.

http://www.araya.dr-clinic.jp/woundtreattrial.html

He made two wounds in his arm.  He treated the left wound  by the
traditional method, and the right wound by the open-wet-dressing
therapy.

It took 4 to 5 days to cure the right wound by the open-wet-dressing  
therapy.
It took 2 to 3 weeks to cure the left wound by the traditional method.

Today,  Johnson & Johnson or other companies sell more efficient films
for wound treatments.

But, the principle is simple, you can do this therapy by the duct tape
and the freezer packs on the trail.

Last year, I hiked the trail all the way to Cutthroat Pass (2 days from the  
border) before seeing my first mountain biker on the trail.  I almost made  
it unti they suddenly overtook us from behind.  It was a mixed sex group of  
6 20-something bikers thought that biking through the minor snow storm that  
was going on would allow them to have the PCT to themselves and seemed to be  
biking from Rainy Pass to Hart's Pass.  Though I had seen bike tracks in  
various places on the trail, this was my first and only encounter with them.  
 They knew they shouldn't be there and didn't care.  As I was filming video  
of myself hiking in the snow, I caught them on video as they rode past my  
camcorder sitting on a rock.  If I had a license plate or a last name to go  
with it, I would have turned it over to the rangers.

This year was differen.t  I was only hiking a 90mile section and 1.5 miles  
before Cajon Pass, I had 2 mid 30's guys ride through my camp as I was  
cooking dinner (I couldn't convince my ride to pick me up a half day early  
when I arrived ahead of schedule).  They knew they were on the PCT even  
before I told them, and they didn't care.  I was more mad about them then  
the ones at Cutthroat Pass last year since these guys were much older.  I  
guess my expectations of younger people is lower then people who have been  
around awhile.  I guess I naively expect them to have settled down some and  
learned to be good citizens.  Lets not even talk about the motorcycle tracks  
I saw through that section.

I have a base pack weight of just 8 pounds.  I've tested my gear in early
Spring/late winter conditions (below freezing and a with precipitation) and
have been very comfortable and safe.  That's how I knew I was ready for
anything the PCT could throw at me.

I was right.  It took a LOT of planning and skill-building, but my gear set
works very well for me.

I think that with a little more money and time I could even get it down 4
pounds.  I might even do that sometime...

I think 80% of being safe is about skills/knowledge, and about 20% is having
the "right" gear.

I think of going ultralight like this:  In order to lose the pack weight
safely you have to gain more skills.

If you can't pitch a cuben fiber tent in high wind/rain to make a
waterproof,dry shelter... then you shouldn't be carrying one.  But if you
*can*, then you are going to be one seriosuly happy hiker.  :)

Hello All,
I am currently thru hiking the PCT and are sitting in Sisters with a few
other hikers and trying to figure out what to do about the fire detour
ahead.  The forest service had been running a shuttle around the fire, but
we just found that the service has been canceled.  Does anyone have any one
know of any possible detour options?  or are there any trail angels in the
area that would be willing to shuttle hikers around?

Thanks
Bacon
