[pct-l] Pooh Corner Free Hospitality

[nowhere_man97 at hotmail.com (Philip Hough)]

Hi Bill,

The Walking Carrot and I will be thru hiking the PCT this year and look 
forward to meeting you at the Kick Off as well as experiencing your 
legendary hospitality when we are farther north!!  Thank you for all you 
have done and continue to do for the hikers.  Trail Angels, Trail Magic and 
the general warmth of people we meet have always left us with an incredible 
"high on humanity" feeling during and after our other thru hikes, and we 
know it wil be the same this time.

Nowhere Man

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to 
what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, 
miracles happen." - Henry David Thoreau
