[pct-l] List dead!!!

[Laurie Hallum]

 I didn't see my post so I'm sending it again.     I have enjoyed reading the many informative and enlightening posts on the List from those with so much hiking/backpacking experience, and even found the disputes curious.  I found others whose feet grew an extra shoe size as did my feet after long distance hiking.  Snack and food ideas have been wonderful.  I missed the posts when the List was temporarily not working for me.     I have connected with several hikers through the List looking for rides in Northern California and have given them transport.  I even found the the Weed Greyhound Bus Station.  We'd share stories and experiences, and enjoy the common interest of hiking the PCT.  I get so uplifted and owe it to the List contributors.     The idea that Sunshine suggested about sharing hiking/backing stories on the List I feel is a great path.  It could create interest and fun reading to experienced hikers as-well-as new comers.  We just need people to contribute their stories like I just did.  I know that I could and will share other stories.  It's a connection.Happy trails,Lady Pegasus

 I can’t remember how I first learned about the list - maybe the blog Halfway Anywhere. 

I don’t mind asking lots of questions, so I put myself out there. I was eager to learn anything I could about hiking, and the unfolding awareness of trail culture was like finding Narnia. Those first few months were dreamy. :D

Back then there was a lot of ambient conversation. Kind of like a group email version of hikers sitting outside Mount Laguna Store. It was fun to follow along. 

Not sure why there’s less traffic but it seems like several cool pieces of hiker trash are still listening and willing to weigh in! 

Lord willing, I am planning to do a section of the Sierra next year - just got my bear can in! 

Hey I do have a question for those whom I haven’t lost. 

My favorite piece of gear is my Patagonia nano puff. Absolutely love that thing. Super warm. We camped on San Jac last year overlooking the Coachella Valley. Just about froze my butt off. I had on all of my layers and was extremely uncomfortable all night. So I know that I could use a slightly heavier coat for situations like that, still light weight as possible. Does anyone have a recommendation? I’ve heard trusted hikers recommend Mont Bell UL jackets. Thoughts?
