[pct-l] Jerks

[Mike Welch]

Wow.  What's amazing is I literally just finished a section hiking the PCT at Chimney Creek Campground which completed the entire trail for me.  I began with the John Muir Trail in 2006 kept heading North every Summer there after and started filling in the Southern California portions about three years ago.  I have thought many time on the trail at how lucky we all are to have such a well maintained trail and the organization which backs it all up.  An organization that fights the good fight to add land and maintain as much wilderness around the trail as possible.  The trail is an absolute blessing to all who love the natural world and all it's wonders.  Shame on the little people who cannot see, but only complain.  I plan to give back by now volunteering to maintain the trail I have fallen in love with.  Mountain Mike

 Yeah. I'm sure that act really inspired all
 the volunteers that work on
 that trail...very effective.
 
 Sadly you have to wonder about some of
 the people on the trail.
