[pct-l] Charged up by Squeaky

[vichansonperu at yahoo.com (Vic Hanson)]

Wow, what an inspiring story, makes me want to go out and try something that seems impossible! As if just doing the PCT won't be enough of a challenge - I hate being cold and wet! It seems that so many of the hiking "firsts" have already been done and there is no way that I can set any speed records at my age, especially with Squeaky burning up the trails. I think I will try for the "oldest" records. Let's see.... the oldest person to do a yo-yo on the PCT. Maybe I can join that buff hiker gal that is going to do it to win the $50 and dinner with Switchback! That will give me someone to try to keep up with and company on the way back south. Of course there is also the problem that I have already bought a round trip ticket to the U.S., the return date to Peru is Oct. 3rd. Looks like I will have to think about speed after all. At 40 miles a day it should only take 4 1/2 months! I can even add in 15 zero days. Oh well, its fun to dream.
