[pct-l] Avoiding humans, snakes, dogs, push ups and trekking poles on the PCT

[abiegen at cox.net]

let me say right off, im a horrible being. due to numerous bad experiences in 
the backcountry, i hate humans on the trail. i don`t want to hike with them, i 
don`t want to be around them. that Colin Fletcher guy really gave me a good beating
until he turned around.

now i know your human is`nt like the others, im sure it`s kind, friendly 
and wouldn't hurt a flea. would probably loan me a kidney if i asked. 
i understand this. i still don`t want to deal with your human.

to avoid conflicts im planning on sunning myself on the PCT in mid to late may, way after 
the herd. is their anyone leaving at this time that can`t bear to leave 
their human at home? i can adjust my schedule either way a few day within reason 
to avoid conflicts. I'd rather be able to soak up some sun on the trail without having to 
get wacked by trekking poles (with or without shock absorbers) and eaten.

Best regards,

P.S. I don't taste good. Really. I taste gamy. Really gamy. Not at all like chicken like y'all are sayin.

P.S.S. If you want to eat something wild and gamy on the trail that is plentiful and easy to catch, i would suggest 
the other other white meat - hikertrash. There are a lot more of them than rattlesnakes. Hey it worked 
well on Donner Pass. Check the local ordinances and park regulations on cannibalism before considering this option. 
And of course - Leave no Trace!
