Good evening, Lonetrail,
You were close to the right age. I'm almost 21 ... for the third time. When I reached 21 the first time I asked myself if I really wanted to grow up. The answer was "No!", so I just reset the clock and started over. The same thing happened the second time, and I am beginning to see that answer again as I push the third time around.
Do you want to know what really ticks me off about young people these days? I'm not one of them.

Good evening, all you fellow NW rain-lovers,
I started tromping parts of the old Oregon Skyline Trail, that eventually
became the PCT, back in the mid '60s. I can testify that the hills were no
steeper then than they are now. They only seem steeper to me now because it
takes longer to go up. I agree with Pat McManus about why: The hole in the
ozone layer is letting in too much gravity. My wife has another theory
about why I've slowed down, but its just too ridiculous to discuss.
I wish I would have thru-hiked then. Not because the trail was then really
a trail, but because Steel-Eye was then really Steel-Eye.
Enjoy...
