[pct-l] What is a PCT Ambassador?

[PCT List]

Ok, that's good.

I was looking for something a bit more practical, though, how each
hikers *actions* represent The Trail and the PCT community as a whole.

Maybe a simple statement of how to express appreciation for
overwhelmed postal workers or business owners going above and beyond
for the hikers. Maybe a simple reminder of respect for private and
public property, whether it be a motel room or defacing a trail sign
or bridge with a marker.

Espousing our passion for the trail is one thing, acting on it is
another. Maybe some well crafted words that can guide more
specifically?

Here's my 2 cents;


WE; you, me, the trail angels, the PCTA staff, and all of the PCT
trail community, everyone who steps upon the trail for a day, a
weekend, a section or a thru-hike, anyone who gives a PCT hiker a
ride, or a cookie, or a bowl of strawberries, or a cold beer on a hot
afternoon, including all of the various PCT-related websites,
everywhere a PCT sign resides (on paper, on the web, on the trail, at
the trailheads) are "PCT Ambassadors".


WE carry the responsibility of furthering the goodwill, kindness,
community, scenic beauty, lore and history of the trail to the world
and to those who follow in our huge footsteps.  It is our
responsibility to share the deep passion for the PCT that all of us
have in our hearts with friends, family, twitter, facebook, linkedin
and other associates.
