[pct-l] Chaos On The PCT

[J M]

Melanie, 
Sorry I missed meeting you and the rest of the people at the Muir get together 
last weekend. Hopefully I'll meet you at kick off. That being said, I'm a 
Burner. I have been going to Burning Man for years and have never considered it 
within the context of 'classy'. I will tell you though that Burning Man is 
strangely not rowdy. It's colorful, strange, awesome, amazing and many other off 
the hook adjectives but not rowdy.  I'm going to try and finish the trail in 
time to go again this year but the trail will dictate

Ciao for now
Joyce

I enjoyed this as well!  I've enjoyed the comedy and amused by the
personalities on the PCT-L.

This is my first Kick Off.  How rowdy do these things get?  I mean, this
will be a classier event than Burning Man right?  I've never been to Burning
Man but my neighbor has and I hear the stories...
