[pct-l] (photo) Hiker Approaching Forester Pass

[RJ Lewis]

I have been classified as disabled for years....just because you cannot 
SEE it, doesn't mean it's not there. I still hike - in fact it's one of 
the best excersizes one can do- and I plan on doing the ENTIRE PCT too. 
So, would you please tell me WHY a disabled person cannot hike the 
trail? I would truely be interested in the reasoning.
