>I am preparing for about 600 miles of the PCT this year, including the northern 500 mile of California and Rainy Pass to Stevens Pass in Washington. I am interested in any comments on my gear selection. In particular the use of a hammock in these sections of the trail. I do not anticipate any, especially in Washington, but want to be prepared if there are any significant treeless sections. I expect to drop another 1/2 pound or so in the next couple of months as I get tuned up for this year's adventure.

>Interesting post Muse. I wonder if the incidence is climbing or if there is just more awareness, prompting increased diagnosis.
>The CDC quotes the incidence in dry SW climates as 30-60%. When I first moved to AZ back in the 1980s, people warned me that I would get it. If you spend any time outdoors, there is a lot of disturbed soil and blowing dust. Within weeks, I got the usual symptoms, then went on to full recovery. In the hospital where I work, it is not uncommon to see lung lesions/scars from Valley fever. In elderly patients, a biopsy is sometimes done to confirm the diagnosis (and confirm that it is not cancer).

>Hi All,

>Last night I attended the Cello Concert at the Saufley's here in Agua Dulce. It was given by thru-hiker Mark Votapek.? His talent is AMAZING. The concert far exceeded my expectations. There were nearly a hundred hikers, helpers and neighbors there.? All were transfixed in awe as he played.? It was MAGIC!!!!!? Mark will be giving a series of concerts at various trail towns as he hikes to Canada. His next will be in Green Valley. Volunteers are "bouncing" his cello along the way for him.?
>
>When I went up to thank Mark and congratulate him after his incredible performance we recognized each other. We had met at lake Silverwood and again at McDonald's, Cajon Pass. That's where I rode my horse, Primo, through the drive thru. We just lined up behind the cars. It worked. Then I "pigged out" with hiker friends while Primo was tied to a tree at the edge of the parking lot. Primo just napped.

>I highly recommend that those who can be sure to attend one of his concerts. You can check with the PCTA to get his most current schedule and where the concerts will be. It will be a night that you will never forget!
