[pct-l] Charter a bus to Manning?

[athiker at cboss.com (Pat)]

I would imagine if the hikers are holed up at Kennedy for a couple of weeks
waiting on the snow to melt there will be at least 35 there. As far as
hitting the trail from Canada couldnt be any worse than the crowd heading
north from ADZ. 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
