[pct-l] Amazing section hikers that we met in 2005

Connie,

That was a wonderful post, especially after I just listened to such moronic 
babbling in a audio journal by a SOBO 'thruhiker' (2005). He CONSTANTLY 
talked about how lame (putting it mildly) 'section hikers' are... He's just 
an immature hiker and person, so I don't think most will take it to heart.

This must have been his first thruhike, as he seemed like he didn't have a 
clue. Lots of hate stored up in that fellow.

Anyway, I really enjoyed your positive comments about 'section hikers.' I 
know several hikers who have thruhiked the PCT and AT many times, and still 
section hike any chance they get. To them and myself, we enjoy the trail 
more than just being in a hurry to get to the end. Section hiking has lots 
of rewards -- especiially for hikers for whom the trail means more than a 
'THRU-hike.'

I guess this is just another way that some find to use 'labels' for people, 
so they can perpetuate their sterotypical nonesense.

Your post was most refreshing.

Thank you.

Warm Regards,

"T"
