[pct-l] Oprah and low snow provide a record year?

[vike norseman]

I dont think she's a prostitute, as I have no idea other than other folks' reviews relayed to me. I didnt read it myself, just heard about it. I can say I have never read popular garbage endorsed by oprah or the new york times etc. We have too much of a homogenized country, so theres no need to read what the sheeple masses read.

Agree with Tortoise's sentiment,

Clearly Cheryl had a lot of personal issues that she was dealing with when she hiked the PCT, but there is no need to be so vulgar as to call her a prostitute.

We have enough through hikers who are annoyingly self promoters and peddling something. The spirit of the trail is lost when we follow. Will this novelty, like Bill Brysons book for the AT, coupled with a likely low snow year make 2013 a record year for thru-hikers attempted? I see the kickoff registration closed in 1 day as well. Any other indicators, like more than normal jounals?
