[pct-l] Water caches on BLM lands

[Ken Powers]

No, we didn't even think to ask the BLM for permission.

This week Jodi is cacheing water along the BLM areas in Utah and Nevada. She 
ran into a BLM man in eastern Utah. My impression is that he didn't say 
anything about cacheing water out there. My question was why did she try to 
cache water out there in the last week of December. Brrrr. The answer, of 
course, is that was the timeframe that she had available to do the cacheing. 
Reading her journal entries ( 
http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?trailname=6461 ) and hearing stories 
not yet posted, takes water cacheing to a whole new level.

And we did get to walk thru some big cities as someone suggested for a moved 
PCT. We felt less secure around more people, but in all cases the American 
people were friendly and extremely helpful.  We found trail angels across 
the country who had never heard of long-distance hiking. Instead of moving 
the PCT off the crest I suggest people start hiking the Pacific Coast Trail 
to get their urban hiking fix.

Our favorite section of the ADT, by far, was the wilderness areas of Nevada 
and Utah. It was full of grand views and wildlife sightings. And empty of 
people.

Now there's something I'd really like to see - a dog running around
off it's leash, talking on your cell phone.  Photos?

I thought Ken and Marcia Powers' walk along the ADT was a wonderful
accomplishment.  But I now wonder...did they have permission to place
all those caches along the trail in the southwest?

I sure hope the traffic on this topic dies down.   The roar of DELETE
keys being pressed all over the world is beginning to have an
environmental impact.

And now back to our regularly scheduled alcoholic binge.
