Dave,

It didn't matter to me whether you you preplanned it or did it on the spur of 
the moment, I thought it was a cool thing.  I applauded your effort as well 
as Scott's and Doug's that year, as I did Brian this year and LightingBolt 
for that matter.  When he finished the PCT this year and posted it to another 
list, I emailed him privately and ask him if I could post it here.  It was a 
great post.  

I hope you didn't receive me wrong, but as I wrote, I was only playing 
"devils advocate" when he said something about prime hiking time and 
suggested late summer and fall are also prime time hiking.  It wasn't 
intended to be derogatory, only list banter.  I guess I missed the mark.  

Sly
