[pct-l] Best sign for hitchhiking

[montypct]

One day near Warner Springs I picked up a hitckhiker carrying a small red 
plastic gas can.  When I asked him where his car was he said, "I don't own a 
car.  I just carry the gas can 'cause it helps me get rides."

True.  I picked him up expecting that I was doing some great deed that maybe 
someone like Mother Theresa or Ghandi would have done.  My heart sunk a bit. 
I was no longer Ghandi.

Switchback, wherever you are.  Here's another business opportunity for you. 
Little inflatible, ultralight, red gas cans.
I can see it now.  Inflatible gas cans.  Printed on the side PCT Class of 
2008.
