[pct-l] Getting off work

[randy_forsland at hotmail.com (Randy Forsland)]

Don't be too hard on him. I was the same way until my son graduated college 
and then finally started his career.

And when he moved out and got his own place...I sold the house, put 
everything in storage and hit the PCT...

Something I could never do until the last bird left the nest and could fly 
on its own..You can't enjoy the hike if you have to worry about others .

So, when you get back from your hike...you owe it to your dad to give him 
the peace of mind of being self sufficient...so that maybe he can get out 
and live his dreams too..
