You better paint those reflector stripes across  your back,  Switchback, so 
Scott does not run over you in the middle of the  night.



-------------------------------------------
I am going to turn some trail signs  around so he goes in the wrong direction 
assuring my victory at the southern  monument and the 2006 PCT Yo-Yo Hike.  
He will get confused and be heading  back to Canada instead of Mexico.
 
No, that will not work.  He  knows the trail too well.  I know.  I will 
intercept him and offer a  few free Zero nights here in Las Vegas.  That will do 
it.  No one  will hear from him for weeks.  He will disappear into Glitter  
Gulch.  
 
You would find him several weeks  later partying and playing Texas Hold 'em 
at Caesars Palace.  He will  not know what day it is or where he is.  He will 
be muttering something  about, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."  He 
will have a T-shirt on  that says, "Duces Wild and So Am I."
 
When asked about a Yo-Yo, he will  answer, "Is that a new drink?  A round for 
everyone!  Hey, for some  reason I cannot get enough pizzas.  Switchback, old 
buddy, order another  thick crust double deluxe super size for me."
 
Yes, his friends will eventually  find him after an extensive search.  They 
will have to take him  to Hiker's Heaven for months of rehab.  Only then will 
he  realize that he was on a PCT Yo-Yo hike and that I claimed all the  
headlines and glory at the southern PCT terminus the previous  month.
