[pct-l] running on the PCT

[Jim & Jane Moody]

But what if the runners are "nekkid"? I was going nobo in 2012, between castle Crags and Etna Summit, when a guy and girl came running toward me. Yes, I was surprised, and yes, I stared. What did you expect me to do? So long as the runners are unclothed, I'm all for it.

Sage you you are quite wrong: 

The comprehensive plan says "Commercial use of the trail is consistent 
with the purpose of the trail" 

=== full quote === 
Commercial Use. 
Commercial use of the trail is consistent with the purpose of the 
trail. Commercial outfitters, guides, etc., provide a valuable service 
to a segment of the public. The extent of commercial use will be 
regulated by the 17 agencies based on public demand and the capability 
of the resource to accommodate such use.
