[pct-l] What is a Thru Hiker?

[Carl Siechert]

I can relate to Grizzly's comment. Done it.

My favorite quote and yogiing tip I picked up along the PCT: "I'm so hungry
I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight." Works for thru hikers and
vagrants. As if there's a difference.

Cheers,
Kelty Kid
