[at-l] PCT Yo-Yo

[Slyatpct at aol.com]

Scott tried about 4 times to yo-yo the PCT before doing it not too long  ago. 
 This would be the 2nd time he's done it.  Usually new snow in  the Sierra on 
the southbound leg stopped him.  I had the chance to meet him  at a western 
gathering, he's a soft  spoken, unassuming guy.  If I'm  not mistaken he's 
hiked all the AT and CDT and may have been the 1st to attempt  the so-called EDT 
from Key West.

NY Times  did an article in the back of the business section on Scott 
Williamson,  34, who is trying to be the first to do a S-N-S yo-yo hike of 
the 
PCT in  one year. That is, go south to north and then turn around and go back 
to  Mexico. He has hiked the PCT 8 times after being shot in the face in a 
7-11  
robbery and taking a new perspective on life. The article said he has done  
parts of the AT and CDT as well. Williamson has become a PCT legend,  drawing 
crowds in Trail  towns.
