[pct-l] Thru hikers

[jomike at cot.net]

I was day hiking with a group through part of Castle Crags on the PCT earlier today. We saw 6 thrus! Three young guys call themselves the Colorado Boys where looking great and mov'en right along. A couple from Australia were happy too and loving their hike, and, one single man, I've forgotten where he was from. Every one of them went through the Sierra and were really charming and delighted with their trips thus far. It was such a joy to meet them. They all must really be putting the miles down for this is the normal time for them to be coming through here. I would have thought they'd have been slowed down more. Didn't get the opportunity to visit long enough to get further information.

are we there yet
