[pct-l] Preparing for a PCT-Thru

[Reinhold Metzger]

Hi gang,
Upon returning from my Sierra Skiing Expedition I found a letter and DVD 
from
my buddy and Idol Scott Williamson.
The DVD, which has previously been talked about on the list, is "TELL IT ON
THE MOUNTAIN......Tales from the Pacific Crest Trail."

To the class of 2013 I will say...."If you are serious about 
"through-hiking" the PCT,
.....GET  THAT DVD.
You will get a better understanding of what you will encounter on the 
PCT and what
the PCT is all about than you will from any chat lists or forums.

Don't get me wrong, this list is a great source of information for 
aspiring PCT hikers.

But hearing is one thing,....seeing is another thing....."Seeing is 
Believing."

On the DVD you will not only hear and see what the ordinary PCT hiker 
has to say,
but see hiking legends like Scott Williamson and Billy Goat on the trail 
and what
they have to say about the trail.
Advise from hiking legends like Scott & Billy Goat is priceless.

Scott Williamson, with 13 PCT thru-hikes (16 counting section hikes) and 
the PCT
record holder is the undisputed, undeniable, unquestionable  "King of 
the PCT."
Billy Goat, who some folks say has been hiking the PCT since the Civil 
War, looks
like and could be mistaken for John Muir.

So,.....If you want to see what you will be encountering on the PCT, get 
a true
understanding of the PCT and hear what hiking legends have to say about 
the PCT,
take the 122 minutes and view the DVD.

I guarantee,.....you will not only love the DVD, but it will be the most 
informative 122
minutes you ever spend researching the PCT.

With this, my friends, I will now sign off.
Hope to see you all on the trail someday
