[pct-l] Kick Off

[David Hough reading PCT-L]

> This would have been the weekend of the Kick Off


In 2001-2002 I camped at Lake Morena, before the kickoff consumed the
entire park.    In 2003 I was in France, then starting at 2004 I stayed
at Ayres Lodge Alpine.  I would have been driving down to Alpine today.

But the kickoff's time has passed - 
it couldn't scale with the popularity of the trail.
If it had continued, it would have been cancelled this year, and that
would probably have been the end of it.
