[pct-l] The "Lost" effect on the PCT community

[mkwart at gci.net]

One wrinkle in the equation that didn't happen with Bill Bryson's book 
on the AT, is that Cheryl Strayed's book may be made into a movie 
starring Reese Witherspoon. This could cause an extra spurt in interest 
and participation. One thing I hope is that the PCTA and other trail 
organizations recognize this and gear up for major educational pushes to 
correspond to the increase in interest. More people who know about the 
trail can mean more money for maintenance and acquisition of land to 
protect the trails. We're definitely not going to be in Kansas 
anymore........
