[pct-l] Help for Harry

[walt Durling]

Geez, guys, give the man a break!  The trail honor on the PCT is well known, and unfortunately, taken for granted at opportune times.  Murphy's law as it is dictates that there will be some who are victimized my scoundrels.  I'm sure form hindsight the poor guy regrets his inattentiveness.  Yogi's right - we all take our eyes off our stuff from time to time.  "There but for the grace...."
