[pct-l] NYT article on female long distance hikers

[Mel Tungate]

We totally agree, as you might imagine.  

Your line and mine are the same.  If someone else wants a different line,
that is OK too.  I want to be the slowest person to finish the PCT - I want
to enjoy every step.  I certainly have so far.

My point was simply that "only taking advantages of resources available to
everyone" is a pretty good definition of "self supported." Like town stops,
mail drops, hotels, etc.

If water caches and ice chests are available to everyone, and were not
specially arranged, I don't see what the issue is with calling that "self
supported."

That being said, thought I really do respect the incredible feats by the
record hunters, "speed records" don't really appeal to me.
