[Tim] Speaking of going slow; in 1996 we meet a lady doing her
last section of the PCT. She had been hiking one section year since
1972. In her 24 years of hiking she had seen many changes to the trail
and her life. When she started she was single, when she finished she
was married with had several grown children.
