[pct-l] Times they are a changing

[Charlie & Nancy Zapp]

I agree no one "needs" a trail name.  Having said that I find the  
beauty of them is you are who you are based on the trail and not your  
life, career, profession, or status off of the trail.  I like that  
fact of being with folks for days, weeks or maybe even months before  
you learn who/what they are elsewhere.  Of course if they are a serial  
killer it would be nice to know that, but they probably wouldn't tell  
you that anyhow.  It sort of levels the playing field and age and  
gender have little to do with anything.  Also trail names seem better  
when given to you by other hikers instead of coming up with them  
yourself

New Thread:

Back when I started camping, you didn't need no stinken trail name.  A  
quarter century ago, I picked up Ambler Rambler, which has been  
shortened to Rambler.  Since I hadn't even heard of Ambler, PA when I  
started section hiking the pct, I think a new, old name, would be good  
for this year's section hike.  I'm planning to go with "toc", as in  
"tic toc time is running out for your 400 month section hike."  toc  
also has a hidden meaning to me that I cannot reveal.



I've rejected:

Gerry Tube,

Winnett's whiners,

Bicentennial Man, Not That There's Anything Wrong With That



toc, nee Rambler
