[pct-l] Aqua Dulce to Lake Hughes.

[jmuielewicz@xxxxxxxxx (John Musielewicz)]

US public lands are just that- public. Everyone has a right to use them not
only backpackers. This includes the PCT and the land surrounding it. It is
not up to some vote or petition or public opinion on who uses public lands.
When taxes are no longer used to support them you will have a leg to stand
on but until then people have a right to use them- whether ATVer,
backpacker, or mountain biker.

Thanks for the tip on the low traffic area. My buddies have been looking for
an area like that. I'll let them know.
