  You mean, there is no cure.
  I am ruined for life.
  No trail to long, no cross country section to high, no Glaciated peak to beautiful
  to satisfy my love of the outdoors?
   
  Well perhaps I can live with this addiction.

  Mountain Goat,

  Don't count on hiking the PCT to cure your bug for hiking. Somehow hiking a
  long distance trail seems to hook lots of people in wanting to hike another.
