Eric Ryback kicks off the PCT season
This is the kind of news that the internet is great for. Eric Ryback was the first person to through-hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 1970, at 18 years old. His book was an inspiration for my hike in 1996. I always wondered if he remained an avid hiker after that. This year the Onion attended the PCT kickoff party, and who showed up to give a presentation but Mr. Ryback himself! How cool. Thanks to the Onion for sharing!
