[pct-l] p.c.t not just for hikers anymore

Is there a law against gay hikers in Riverside County? I'm not sure why this
would be a "problem" for you or the sheriff.
Btw, you probably didn't notice while you were in Palm Springs, but I'd
posit that it is "the inland empires new ,umm gay hangout"--not some freeway
underpass. As evidence, here's an excerpt from the Los Angeles Times,
November 8:
"Newly elected mayor Ron Oden is Palm Springs' first openly gay mayor, and
he will be joined by a gay majority on the council, reflecting the influx of
gay and lesbian home buyers who flocked to the city during the 1990s, making
its mid-century architecture and downtown village atmosphere suddenly trendy
again."
This is the twenty-first century--even on the PCT. Get used to it.

i was coming back from palm springs a couple of weeks ago, and decided to
stop off at the p.c.t.s I-10 trailhead to bbq up some lunch. i was sitting
by the I-10 undepass eating when a riverside county sherriff stopped by. i
figured it was just a routine check ,so i gave him my id and explained that
i was just a harmless p.c.t. fan,which after looking  at my cars p.c.t.
decal had no problem beliveing.now here`s where it gets strange(i hope your
sitting down),he told me he came to check me out because they had been
having problems there.he told me the underpass had gained noterioty as
a(your not going to belive this!)gay crusing spot! i guess that part of the
p.c.t. is now known as the inland empires new ,umm gay hangout(this really
explaned some of the graffitti i saw).
