[pct-l] Done with thru hike

[steve_pct at hotmail.com (Steve Setzer)]

Howdy folks,

I'm back in Boulder now after finishing this summer's thru hike.  I finished 
on the 18th of September in a few inches of snow.  We had a pretty tough 
year in Washington this year. Tons of rain. Anyway just wanted to let you 
all know I finished and am back on the list.  Feel free to ask me questions 
if you're planning to thru hike next summer while its still fresh in my 
mind.

Also, I think its too late for this year because everyone should be done by 
now but the detour around Glacier Peak is great.  The forest service got in 
there and brushed the whole trail so overgrown trail is no longer a problem. 
  The ford of the Napeequa was mid-thigh deep after a night of hard rain.  
The climb up Little Giant Pass was super steep but thru hikers shouldn't be 
complaining about it after 2500 miles of walking.  It was one of the most 
scenic parts of the trail. We heard horror stories about that section and 
almost did the road walk.  We would have missed out if we did.

Later,
Steve (Scrote) - I'm probably going to leave that name behind me :)
