[pct-l] Adventure 16 PCT - How To - Talks

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

I have had a luke warm response to my request for help in extending the  
public awareness of the PCT through Adventure 16 talks.  Again, if you have  hiked 
the trail or just big chunks of it and are just a bit overwhelmed by all  of 
the random acts of kindness that you received along the way and are looking  
for some creative way to just give a bit back, then please consider doing this  
and contacting me.  You may have noticed that you see many of us veteran's  
names coming up in all sorts of places; PCTA, ADZPCTKO, ALDHA-West, etc.   We 
are still driven to give something back and inspire others due to the  
incredible kindness and support and inspiration that we received and which  propelled 
us to Canada.  Please consider joining us.
