If that person had first asked the list for 'friendly' advice, the responses mostly would have been "it will be too hot", "there won't be enough water" or "the caches will be empty", a few "you'd have to be crazy", and "you're starting too late, you won't make it to Canada in time" remarks... That person made it through the "hot" desert, did not rely on the water caches - instead going off trail at times to known sources... A 'late' start - was there time to get to Canada? Yes, and on November 28, 2006, he touched the PCT monument at the border - the Mexican border... Scott Williamson completed his second PCT yo yo... Scott says/insists he is not really a 'fast' hiker, but he does hike many hours each day</font></blockquote></div> <div></div> <div> </div></font><br><br><br><div><font style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><hr style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. <a title="http://living.aol.com/video/how-to-please-your-picky-eater/rachel-campos-duffy/2050827?NCID=aolcmp00300000002598" href="http://living.aol.com/video/how-to-please-your-picky-eater/rachel-campos-duffy/2050827?NCID=aolcmp00300000002598" target="_blank">Watch the video on AOL Living.</a></font></div></div> _______________________________________________<br>Pct-l mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Pct-l@backcountry.net">Pct-l@backcountry.net</a><br>To unsubscribe or change list options (digest, etc):<br>http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/pct-l<br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
