[pct-l] Williamson attempting to regain unsupported PCT speed record NOW!

[shon mcganty]

I have the same sentiment, regarding not using water cashes.  Going NOBO was no problem, but going SOBO in So.Ca was difficult.  Apache Springs was thick mud, I road walked into Lk. Hughes for water, and at Scissors Crossing I had to either hitchhike, knock on doors, or take from the water cache.  I took from the water cache, since all three have some degree of using others for assistance.  
 
by the way, I was looking for a trail journal by the hiker that hiked with Scott on their PCT speed record about 3 yrs ago, does anyone remember his name???  (not Tatoo Joe).

It is my understanding that Scott Williamson will not use water caches.
It is a matter of principle. He does not feel that they belong on the
trail, so he won't take water from them.
