[pct-l] Observations
Just got off a 5-day backpacking trip to Whitney Portal. Two things I noticed alot were: (#1) All the new HEAVY GEAR and new clothes. Everyone looked like they came out of a Backpacker Magazine ad. Many backpackers were carrying 50-65 pounds. (#2) The lack of sun protection. Many were dressed like they were going to the beach or a picnic instead of high radiation country. Too many were without good head protection. This whole thing was too bad because a lot of folks were suffering needlessly. Happy Trails, Switchback
