[pct-l] They are trashing you on nwhikers net..

[Tortoise]

Davy Ray,

without realizing it, your are contradicting yourself. You may not have 
lost the appreciation of the experience, but you are too tired and 
jaded. but this means that you no longer can savor the beauty because of 
your tiredness and jadedness.

not my reason for going.

If I ask myself, "Am I still having fun?" and the answer is "NO" then 
I've got to rethink what I'm doing. Maybe the current situation is an 
anomaly or maybe the current situation is the price I pay for something 
better.  ie, climbing the hill for the view from the top, or enduring 
the bugs for the joy of being out.

however, you hike your hike and I'll hike mine.
