[pct-l] New PCT Speed Record

[sdscpcts]

I am working at setting a record for taking the longest time to complete the trail as a set of sections and segments. The first segment I did was from the ranch just up from Florence Lake to Evolution Lake in 1952. I still have a little less than 15 miles to go.

Is anybody famous for just poking along the trail and enjoying it? Not
worrying about how fast they can do the trip, how many miles they can do in
one day, how little weight they can carry, etc.?
It's a camping trip. Enjoy the walk!
