Summer 2014 Communicator – Lost, stranded, injured and sick on the PCT

The Summer 2014 issue of the PCT Communicator should be arriving in mailboxes around the world.

In this issue, I wrote an essay, Lost, stranded, injured and sick on the PCT (PDF), about safety and personal responsibility on the trail. As the front desk of PCTA, I hear frequently about incidents on the trail and my piece is born of that.

We usually make one article from our magazine available online, so check out this page for past stories. Do you want to read all of the Communicator? Please consider including PCTA in your charitable giving. We send the magazine out quarterly to our members.
