[pct-l] Breaking News!!!

[hiker97 at aol.com]

When I do my PCT thru hike, I will only do the parts of the trail that I have not done before.  And I am doing a corridor hike.  I will follow the PCT 95% of the time, but not always.  If not that, then I will do a PCT Harley trike road ride.  


Yes, you have escaped major humiliation at the upcoming April Kickoff.  A Push Up Contest is not an approved activity at the Kickoff. It is illegal and a condemed.  Otherwise, you would be smashed to pieces by a real hardcore backpacker and not a wantabe.  Boy are you and Brick lucky.

Dear Reinhold,

I have to tell you that this has made me think twice about my hiking plans this season.  I can't do the entire PCT until I retire 4 years from now so I WAS thinking about doing the JMT again alone.  Then I figured that I may as well do "sections" until I retire and then I will really know what I am doing when I finally make the entire quest.  If I start with the KO this year I can maybe do the first 400 miles or so and at least have some people along the way.  That might take me to hwy 58 or so.  The conditions will be about the same given the same time of the year etc.  So, I have to start my logistics efforts now.

I just can't pass on the opportunity to put that dawg, Switchback in his place and teach him the meaning of respect!!!!!!

Melanie

Hi gang,
I understand that  "Brute  Switchback"  is in heavy training for his push up contest against Melanie, at the  "KO",  to defend and prove man's superiority  once and for all.
