[pct-l] PCTA Trail Fest, Seattle, March 23-25

[montypct]

Correct Mr. Asabat
I communicated with Ben off list..
Ben almost seemed enthusiastic to receive input, discuss format and share 
information on possible changes coming up.
He also connected me with Wilderness Press and they were very responsive.
At least twice Wilderness Press has posted on this list.  Just recently they 
posted  in response to backorders on Oregon/Washington guide including 
offering way discounted "damaged" (slightly) books.  This is a special 
effort just to help US out.  (Tomorrow, February 8th, they notified us they 
would receive the newly printed book and distribute them to the retailers.)

These are very specialized books and, to my knowledge, no one is getting 
rich on them.

Just like everyone else, except maybe my mother, I complain about things. 
In some form I may be doing that now by responding to this thread.  Often I 
need to be reminded that if I don't like the creamed spinach, maybe I just 
shouldn't put it on my plate.  (I like creamed spinach.)

I've done the trail using the guide books.  This year, 
however,................................... I'll use them again.  Every 
step.
Be a bummer for me without them.
