[pct-l] pct-l Digest, Vol 38, Issue 26

Workshops, inspirational talks, dull slideshows of a thru-hike, incredible  
presentations like Weathercarrot's, "Walk", snow and ice travel instructions,  
etc., etc. are like Delicate Arch to me . . .
 
"Delicate Arch has the curious ability to remind us - like rock and  sunlight 
and wind an wilderness - that out there is a different world, older and  
greater and deeper by far than ours, a world which surrounds and sustains the  
little world of men as sea and sky surround and sustain a ship."

I'm in  favour of the workshops. I'll never be able to attend one but  
if you  come to my part of the world I'll buy to a beer/water/ 
electrolyte filled  drink. You've done things I want to do, and you've  
done them many  times, passing on that knowledge is to be encouraged.  
Those who can  find the money and time to be there are helping you  
fund your next  expedition which seems like a fair trade to me. If  
they help  someone, who may have stopped part way, make it to Canada  
then  you've helped one more person reach their goal. And is a great   
thing.
