<DIV><FONT size=2>I just got home from seeing "Into the Wild" to find 16
messages with this subject. It really makes me wonder how Chris McCandless would
have felt about the situation. I have a theory about how his feelings would have
changed but that might ruin the movie. If you haven't seen the movie, go see it.
It made me reflect on how we, as long distance hikers, may give
concerns to our friends and family. Those 16 messages show the independence
one would expect of us and the concern by those who are concerned about our
welfare. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Also see the hiker's comment on Trail Forums - PCT topic
"missing hikers". They were not even late despite the big snow storm that slowed
them. </FONT></DIV>
