[pct-l] Happy Trails

[Tortoise]

I said  "quiet", I didn't say comatose or suspended. ;-)  Just that the 
message volume will significantly decrease.

As to thru hikers staying in contact with each other, there are the various 
journals on Postholer.com and trailjournals.com. There are groups dedicated 
to some specific years over on Yahoo groups so if this year's class wants, 
they could have a group on Yahoo or Google.
