[pct-l] PCT & MTB

[ambery-80243 at mypacks.net]

I agree that there are good and bad in every group.  What should be done in regards to the PCT should not be focused on as an "us against them" debate, but about determining what is best for the PCT and the experience of its users.

The average mtb'er is as concerned about wilderness values as the hiking/equestrian community. There are mtb'ers that are assholes - on and off the trail. There are hikers that are assholes - on and off the trail. I've met enough of both, but both are definitely in the minority. I think we can do better than what I've seen so far. We have far more in common than we do differences.
