[pct-l] Starbucks verses the PCT

[Montedodge@aol.com (Montedodge@aol.com)]

  We don't have much sun up here in Washington , but we have  2 coffee shops 
for every gas station. ( Or Tully's, or Seattle's Best)  All Washington 
Hikers are caffeine addicts. ( If you go to downtown Seattle , Washington 
Natives are the ones without umbrellas. ( Just a backpack over one shoulder 
and a latte in one hand) On a more serious note,,,, I can't believe how fast 
this year's PCT group are going!!  Singing Steve ( My neighbor and climbing 
partner) is now at K.M. and doing fine. Many hiker's from the kick-off are 
already to KM. Good Job!! Brian has made a good trail for them over Forester 
already and seems to be on target
