[pct-l] All the legs

[nitnoid1]

PCT Family,

The trail is 2650 or so miles long, which should be long enough for all users to enjoy their chosen mode of transport without too much interaction with the mode of travel a PCT traveler may despise. So hike your hike or ride your ride (no mtn bikes, yet) and let  others do the same. There is more than enough trail to share.  Enjoy the winter, planning next year's adventures. 

Peace, out. 

The Incredible Bulk.
