[pct-l] 2012 PCT Hiker Register - Wapinitia Pass/Hwy 26, Oregon

[Walt Mayberry]

Updates from the Wapinitia Pass trail register are posted at the link below
- 21x Thru (14x NOBO, 7x SOBO), 31x Section and 64x day/short leg/unknown
hikers so far this year.

The register does note that entries will be shared online, though I also
consider entries in a public register to be public information.  Online
update is delayed from register entry so the hiker will be many miles away
before it is shared.  Trail names also provide a level of anonymity.  Not
all hikers make a register entry and some provide incomplete information.
Some hikers have noted it is useful to find old friends who are trailing
behind them.

A similar register has now been placed at Snoqualmie Pass in Washington.
Information from it will be shared at the end of the hiking year.
