[pct-l] Old PCT marker on Ebay!

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

I don't get it.  I sent this email out on 6/3/04 and yet it didn't hit the 
PCT-List until 6/12/04?  How come so long?

you pct lovers that are not lovers of trees etc for all your emails. I will 
be 
doing the pct next year. its my goal to remove every last marker that is 
infecting mine and muirs beloved trees. The white diamond will me nothing but 
an 
ignorant placement of a trail marker in the years past by an ignorant forest 
service at that time!  Please forward my email to all. Brian. P.S.  this 
weekend  
I go looking for my first removal in so Calif.. goal is to save the tree. 
Will 
turn all markers to the forest service but, the one I now have. IM going to 
get the news media in on this... Brian"

ATTENTION ALL FOREST SERVICE, NATIONAL PARK, BLM, NATIONAL MONUMENT AND STATE 
PARK EMPLOYEES!  

THIS INDIVIDUAL IS PLANNING TO HIKE THE PCT NEXT YEAR WITH THE ABOVE AGENDA.  
IF I UNDERSTAND THE LAW CORRECTLY, IT IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE TO ILLEGALLY 
REMOVE, DEFACE, OR OTHERWISE DESTROY ANY SIGNAGE ON FEDERALLY PROTECTED 
LANDS.  AS 
THE PACIFIC CREST NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL IS A FEDERALLY PROTECTED ENTITY, ALL  
SIGNAGE UPON IT IS PROTECTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

With the twisted logic of this individual we would remove the Golden Gate 
Bridge because it was not originally there.  Nor would we maintain any of the 
trails because we would be introducing unnatural drainage and rearranging 
rocks 
and trees to provide access to the trail.
