[pct-l] going fast on the PCT

[yawho_hiker at yahoo.com (j rhoades)]

Whoever coined it probably was not a thru-hiker but I
have to disagree strongly with the implication that
all thru-hikers are focused on the destination.

I hiked from the Mexican border to Manning Park and 
my greatest satisfaction besides seeing all that
amazing scenery and meeting some interesting people
was that I never got to the point where all I cared
about was getting to Canada. 

I went relatively slow (ask anyone who hiked with me)
and I definitely enjoyed the journey.  And even
though, at first,  I thought it strange how much
faster others were going, I have come to accept that
people have different motivations for hiking.
