[pct-l] Don't text while you are hiking

[treerings at gmail.com]

This video captures a fleeting glimpse of the interface between humans and
the primeval. With each passing generation the gap between nature and
people increases, in the words of Julia Butterfly Hill. On the PCT we
willingly partially surrender ourselves to an element of risk. There's
no guarantee that Sasquatch won't tap you on the shoulder at 3am and
politely ask you for a game of Rummy. Many of us hike the PCT because we
know we are part of a larger system that is older than we are, that was
here before us and will be here after us. This perspective is lost until we
encounter a Ursus americanus in our driveway while awash in the land of
binary  pixels.
