PCT, Bro! PCT!!!

I REALLY like the rogue valley. So many people are excited to go hiking, kayaking, backpacking, etc. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging to anyone looking to break into a new activity. Which makes their attitude towards the Pacific Crest Trail that much more confusing. They are VERY competitive above it. "How far you gone on the PCT, bro?" "I've done the whole thing, TWICE!" "GASP!"
