[pct-l] Williamson attempting to regain unsupported PCT

[Stephen Clark]

At age 67 I also hear this alot... however, when I explain there are dozens
and dozens (even hundreds) of others out on the PCT that I have interaction
with the tone changes... and when I tell them that I frequently see many of
these "other hikers" in camp in the evenings the naysayers really soften.

After all... when I go I'd rather it be on the trail doing what I love than
trapped in an aluminum box, victim to some idiot texting behind the wheel.

Keep hiking!
