But we are stewards of the PCT as we are of any public property.  We need to 
be prepared to call out wrong doers, hopefully helping them see the error of 
their ways, but also in the case of obviously willful law-breaking, inform 
the proper authorities.

But therein lies the rub - the PCT is most definitely NOT your personal or 
private property...

Being rude = fine.  You may expect it in return....which simply leaves bad 
feelings for everyone (not good..blah..and sad)

The ONLY legal recourse you have is to report...as Mr. Teschlog stated 
earlier.

easy peasy.

Love,
Nick

They aren't another trail user- they are a trail abuser. Any biker on the 
PCT is breaking the law, egregioiusly and willingly. They have no reason 
whatsoever to expect level-headed and respectful treatment from the 
legitimate users of the trail, no more than someone trespassing knowingly on 
my property should expect civil treatment from me.
