[pct-l] Brian in Big Bear........



>> Sometimes it is a challenge, sometimes a macho thing.  <<

There's lot's of complex reasons why we do what we do. Most of them we'll
never understand. For at least this summer Brian's out to accomplish
something no one's done before. To hike all three major trails, AT, PCT &
CDT in a single year. 

I'd suppose that to the early backpackers, the thought that anyone would
attempt to do a single long trail would be impossible or improbable. Or at
the very least trying to do too much. Especially since most short
backpacking trips seldom exceed more than 10 miles a day. A pace the even
the slowest thru-hiker would find too slow.

Personally my congratulations and wishes are with Brian. I hope he's able to
complete his saga. I know I'll be following along. In spirit if not in body.

By the way I hope to finish writing up the interview I had with him at
ADZPCTKO and get it up on the website soon. I'll let everyone know when it's
posted.
