[pct-l] RE: alternate routes

[Ed.Welter@nike.com (Welter, Ed)]

I hiked the PCT too (when I was 10).

Err, well I was a little west of the official trail.  Ok ok, I was on I5.
Oh yeah, it was sort of like hiking...I was hitchhiking.  Ok, ok, it was
actually with my parents.
We made it North to South, just a little short of Campo.  Ok, ok we only got
to Disneyland!

Okay, Okay, OKAY!!!! I admit it! I didn't do it!  I didn't thru-hike the
PCT. 
 I didn't because:
- I hitchhiked a short section in Sth Calif.
- I didn't walk the official route because one didn't exist in 1977
- I walked a section of Hwy 395 because I was just too damn scared and tired

of the snow after nearly losing my life
- I walked out of Touloumne Meadows on the north side of the road and 
hitch-hiked back in on the south side of the road, so I never actually
walked 
across the road

Ah, come on, let's not start the purist war again.  I don't give a damn even

if you say "I hiked the PCT" and in reality you didn't.  Each person knows 
what they did or didn't do and whether or not it was a pure PCT hike is 
rather immaterial.
