> Many of the old timers from the '70s got their pct dream inspirations from reading Eric Ryback's 1970 book The High Adventure
I think it was a little later than 1970. Anyway my first inspiration was
from Colin Fletcher's first book, The Thousand Mile Summer, which had
very little to do with the eventual route of the PCT but was remarkable even
so. I've since been to White Mountain and the Silver King areas due to
his inspiration.
