[pct-l] Billy Goat's lost poles

[Joseph Anderson]

HELP:  Billy Goat's hiking poles walked away without him!  He was northbound
at the Red Rock water tank mile # 502.8 and he left his poles at the trail
intersection.  After collecting water and returning to the trail they had
mysteriously vanished.

If anybody knows the poles' where abouts please contact the Anderson's or
bring them to the Kick Off party.  No questions asked.

Any ideas for Billy Goat's pole replacement?  Bob Mayon outfitted him with
bamboo sticks for now...

This situation brings to mind how should we, as a community of hikers, deal
with gear "found" unattached to their owners along the trail. Should it be
left, or brought to the trailhead, or considered trail salvage after a
certain period of time?  What do you think?
