	+ Pathfinder's [http://www.ronstrickland.com/PNT.htm Pacific Northwest Trail] somewhere around Highway 20 in Washington State. + Here is a message from Pathfinder: + Okay, the PCT and PNT are congruent from about Castle Pass to Holman Pass. + + A factoid you may not know: the reason that I founded the PNT had partly to do with the PCT. I had hiked from Snoqualmie Pass north to Manning in 1968, my first foray to the Northwest after dreaming of it since 1962. I fell in love with the Northwest and talked of little else afterward. + + In 1970, eager to return to the Northwest after a year of PhD coursework at Georgetown, I came up with the rationalization of hiking east to west across the Pasayten and North Cascades. I soon extrapolated this notion into wanting to personally hike and develop a new route from the Continental Divide to the Pacific Ocean. From my base in DC, I got a "study bill" introduced and passed (1974-76.) After founding the Pacific Northwest trail Association in 1977, I worked for almost two decades as its unpaid executive director to develop the route, construct new sections, write and publish a guidebook, and turn my original idea into an on-the-ground reality. That work continues today because and and the PNTA are seeking introduction (Oct. 2007) of a bill to add the PNT to the National Trails System as a national scenic trail. I am eager for it to pass next year. 1970 to 2008 = 38 years of effort by me and many, many others. + + Thur-hikers are very welcome on the [http://www.pnt.org/ Pacific Northwest Trail] + + [http://www.ronstrickland.com/ Ron Strictland] + + [http://www.sea2seatrail.org/ Sea 2 Sea Trail] + + Factoid #2: I am attempting to extrapolate the PNT east to the Atlantic Ocean via my new invention, the Sea-To-Sea Route. This 7700-mile route became famous in 2004-2005 when Andy Skurka thru-hiked it in 11 months, earning the Backpacker Magazine title of Person of the Year. + + Happy trails,
