[pct-l] ] Thru numbers

[Fritz7ntd at aol.com]

The sign in sheets we leave at our cooler with fruit and water (near  
Silverwood) are also not an accurate measure, but how often we have to restock  
the cooler is.  Ethel and I have been refilling the cooler almost daily for  
nearly 3 weeks now, and we can't recall any year when we have seen so many  
hikers come through.  
 
As for the comment about commercial enterprise replacing traditional trail  
angels, we will do this as long as we can, but if numbers were to say 
double  again, we would simply not be able to keep the cooler stocked on our  
budget.  On the other hand, whereas there used to be just one cache, there  are 
now 3, so just as thru hikers have increased, so have the number of  
angels.  It may just all balance out in the end.
 
Fritz and Ethel, Team Turtle

I'm a  section hiker and was booked and photographed as inmate number 710 
at Ziggy  and the Bear's on Monday.  I also dropped off 3 thru-hikers last 
Thursday  at Campo. They are queuing in the  pipeline.....
