> In Section A this last Saturday, I met several Thru-Hikers, getting an early start on the trail. One in particular was Coyote Rob. He is attempting on Thru Hiking the Calendar Triple Crown. He has a tight schedule of 90 days for each trail, and is being quite public with his attempt. You can find his Web Site at robbysride.org. This will lead you to his long distant bicycle page that has a link to his Triple Crown Attempt. There are some quite interesting info about his gear and such.

> 
> I was day hiking White Water today, and thought that if Buck 30 were not going to angel there this year, I would. I talked with the White Water people today, and they're pleased with the idea. As everyone else who knows them has written, they're friendly, helpful people and have a strong appreciation of the PCT and of hikers.
