[pct-l] Proper Trail Etiquette

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

Wheeew writes: Ya know, on the AT when you do a thru, you say you're   
"GA-ME" (Georgia to Maine).  So I find myself wondering......if I hike the  PCT from 
Mexico to Canada, does that make me a "MexiCan"????

RustyKnees replies: That meany, Switchback, has gone back to planning his  
historic Triple Crown hike in 2008 and is again off the PCT-L.  So, I will  
answer your question.  Yes, a thru hiker that does the PCT can be called a  
"MexiCan".  But only if he/she is NoBo.  If they go SoBo, then they  must be called 
a "CanMexi".
 
Thank you for your interest in hiker lore and proper trail  etiquette.
 
Your friendly pal, RustyKnees

PS: That is pretty sharp of you to catch the Smother's Brothers tie  in.
