[pct-l] Why do you hike solo?

[jon at lovejoyart.com (Jon Lovejoy)]

The cool thing about the PCT is that you can do both. You can hike solo
and stop when you see someone, to share a meal or make camp. If you find
someone who matches your pace & personality, you get to hang out
together for a while. As a solo hiker, I'm only alone when I choose to
be. 

Also, the solo hikers I met this summer are more clearly defined in my
memory than the couples and groups I met. You have to be a little
different (crazy?) to hike solo.
