[pct-l] Thru hikers for 2011...

[Paul Robison]

Being from Canada,  i heard about the PCT and said "i can go do that... i have a 
good white gas stove,  a -30 sleeping bag... and even a true mountaineering 
tent! ...all i have to do is buy some new pants and 5 months worth of payday 
bars"    ...oh how wrong i was... seems everything i own has been replaced now 
at least once, and some twice.
my previous hike had been in the selkirks (in march) and i really thought i knew 
what i was getting into.  'course i knew nothing about PCT-l or even Whiteblaze. 


You must love your shoes to but ten pairs of them !  that's commitment !  what 
are you wearing?  i'm loving my merell intercept shoes.  not sure if i'd commit 
to the whole hike in them though.

We are pretty close with gear. Basically we have replaced our 'heavy' 
stuff..which was most everything

Going to order shoes next. We're going to see about a discount at our local 
specialty running shoe store...like its ten pairs for the two of us..ought to be 
wortht something
