[pct-l] A new subscriber and a question

[roni_h3000 at yahoo.com (roni h)]

Hi,


I have just subscribed to the pct-l so I guess I should write a bit about myself before I start bombarding you with questions (actually, one question). My name is Roni and I’m an Israeli currently thruhiking the P.C.T.

You might have heard my name (usually accompanied by the words 'mad', 'crazy', etc.) due to three main reasons:



1) I hiked the A.T. last winter - not one of my smartest decisions in life...


2) I’m known for the fact that honey buns are a main part of my hiking diet - I’ve eaten more than 1500 honeybuns this last year...


3) (The title I’m proud the most) - I am the king of zero days on the A.T. including the remarkable achievement of 19(!) consecutive zero days in one shelter - a record that hopefully won’t be broken in my lifetime.

I am now in Agua Dulce (450 miles from Mexico) and I have one problem you might be able to help me with:

It appears that the northern California part of the guide book won’t be published before I reach northern California - probably in less than a month (please correct me if I’m wrong).


This means that the only guide book available for that section will be the old volume number one of the P.C.T. guidebook. Unfortunately, it seems that no one sells it any more. As I’m really enjoying reading the superb southern California guidebook I do not want to hike 800 miles without such a guide.


If any one of you knows where I can find the out-of-print northern California P.C.T. guide book, or alternatively, how I can obtain the new guidebook I would be most thankful if you e-mail me to the address "roni_h3000@yahoo.com" .

And if anyone is interested in reading my infrequent entries about the P.C.T. you can find them in "www.trailjournals.com/roni/

Thanks,

Roni
