[pct-l] Keeping track of one another

[Halmargolis at aol.com]

Kendall,
 
Diane's idea of placing a pole on the opposite side while  doing it in the 
bush is great!
Many use posting at registers and numerous  posts.  Used a whistle (1 blast 
to announce location or to  acknowledge, 2 blasts to request a blast or 
yell, and three blasts, come to  me.  A high frequency yell, a Whoop whoop was 
more fun. Being familiar with  one another's footprint MAY help. Also, 
simply ask southbounders if  they saw him.  What worked most of the time is 
agreeing to not go any  further than a certain pleasant spot or eatery and wait. 
My favorite, if  ahead, is writing my initials on the trail with the time of 
 day.
