[pct-l] Public Announcement

[hiker97 at aol.com (hiker97@aol.com)]

I already have a standing offer of $100 for anyone who comes up with a super light tablet or powder for that turns into 1-liter of fresh clean water.  I got a lot of crank emails on that one.  Some of you folks think you are pretty cute.
 
Now we are going to get serious -- no more Mister Goof Off.  I will take the first female(s) who is the first one to flip-flop the PCT in one calendar year to the restaurant of her choice in the San Diego area at the completion of her hike.  The hike must be north and then south to end up at Campo.  Also, I will present her with a $50 US Savings Bond at the restaurant.  I know, you have to read that again to believe it, but it is true.  This extravagance is because I am getting a little tired of the men taking all the glory and setting all the records.  Ridiculous.
 
Anyone who wants to up the reward pool is welcome to join in.
 
Any hanger-ons and trail dudes and dudettes who want to join in on the celebration will have to pick up their own tabs.
 
Thank you for your attention.
 
Sincerely and respectfully, Switchback
