[pct-l] hike is over, but not the trip

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

This depends on where you're from, what attractions / stores there are, etc.  
I would recommend finding an Adventure 16 store if you haven't ever been to 
one and even an REI if you come from part of the country that doesn't have 
them.  Both are equipped and focused upon the hiker and even ultra-light 
thru-hiker types like us.  Other than that I cannot think of any gear manufacturer 
tours, thru-hiking shrines (other than the almost forgotten and essentially hidden 
golden spike ceremony spot and, of course Hiker Heaven at the Saufleys) or 
mountaineering museums.  Maybe we should start one!  "Mountaineering Museum of 
the San Gabriel, San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains"  

Send in your old pictures, packs, crampons, pitons, ropes, ice axes, 
ultra-light underwear, old socks, etc.

Send them to;

I'm farting around LA now.  Is there any must see attractions I got to see 
while here?  I'm at the Aquarium of the Pacific now.  Is there any 
mountaineering\skiing  museums, gear manufacturing tours, or thur-hiking shrines?
