[pct-l] Scott Williamson up date...correction

[Reinhold Metzger]

Hi gang,
I meant to say greet, not greed.
BTW....Sam Fox, the 24 year old Yale University track star and record 
high jumper that was also atemting to set a new PCT record and raise 
money for Parkinson disease, abandoned his attempt. He is skipping the 
Sierra,
due to the recent snow, and will reenter the PCT at Walker pass and 
continue to the border.
I told Michelle a month ago, because of his (Sam) late start he might 
get stopped by snow in the Sierra.....and so it happened.....it just 
shows how proper planing and knowing the trail is crucial.
Nobody knows the trail like Scott, and Scott knew it is best to get 
through the Sierra before October.
But, it is all part of the equation.
