[robo hiker]

i thought the same thing but was afraid of getting chastized  by the "lords of the boards" for saying so.

This is simply amazing!  This is the sense of entitlement that seems to be so prevelent today.
 
Switchback, you are not thru-hiking, so why take advantage of an offer that this wonderful resort is providing to the thru-hikers?  That's BS.  You, yourself has spoken about the need to be more aware of our actions along the trail but here is a good example of bad behavior.  No ifs, ands or butts.
 
I am planning to stay at WS on Thursday night before Kickoff in order to give hikers a lift back to KO as I did last year.  Sure, I could have lied and said I was a thru-hiker given that I did complete a thru in 2006, but that would have been taking advantage of a wonderful offer this lodge gives to current year thru-hikers.
 
I'm sure I will take some heat on this, but you are flat out wrong my friend.

Switchback replies: All I know is that when I called the other day, I had no problem getting a cabin for Wednesday and Thursday prior to the Kickoff.  I told them I was a PCT hiker, so I could get the discount.  I am a PCT Section hiker.  I will hike on the trail while I am there.  Of course, I did not mention that I would be playing some golf and laying around the pool more than I would be hiking on the trail.  Heh, heh, heh.
