Paul - 
A week or so ago I posted our "contract" for our 1999 CDT thruhike.  It
specified a 6 month hike.  And I can tell you right now that our PCT
contract will be for a 5+ month hike.  Anyone who wants to call me
"lazy" is welcome to their opinion - but my opinion is that they should
"hike their own hike" and leave mine alone.  We'd have stretched that to
a 10 month hike if we could have.  And we felt the same way on the AT.  

See you on the trail.  

Walk softly,
Jim
