Hehehehe-<br><br>Good ones Tortoise. Now let's see you do the same thing for the AT! There's 14 of them suckers!!!<br><br>So yeah, I'm sticking with MexiCan. Look for me at the KO.

So, I will answer your<br>> question. Yes, a thru hiker that does the PCT can be called a<br>> "MexiCan". But only if he/she is NoBo.
