[pct-l] Tim's broken ankle

[Edward Anderson]

Timothy,
 
I did not know that you are the hiker who broke your ankle six miles short of the Canadian Border. I just learned that from Piper's Mom.  I am so sad to now realize that you were the hiker. You must have been terribly disappointed. Hope that I was not too hard on you in my response to your response to my post on illegal campfires on the PCT. I sincerely apologize.

Maybe Tim's painful broken ankle is making him cranky, as might being so
close to the border and having to leave the trail.  No verbal lashings at
me, please.

I am not siding with or against Mendo Rider's email to the Forest Service,
but Timothy Nye's response to Mendo Rider suggest that "hike your own hike"
now means you can ignore campfire and other restrictions.  He would "not
presume to proscribe limits or penalties on others."  Come on!   All the
various official rules associated with hiking the trail are in some way
limits or penalties.   But they are there to protect the trail, the
environment that it passes through, and in some cases hikers.  Geez, Timothy
are you so afraid of being characterized as judgmental that you are willing
to let others violate the fire restrictions that are in place?
