Oakdale Rules

My first day on the PCT I met a real California outlaw. This man was trail tough. Lizards move out of his way when he walks down the trail. Moms pick up their children when they see him. He uses his green ice axe to pick his teeth. He's an outlaw, but not the classic running from the law type. He plays by his own code of conduct and creates another for the PCT. I will share some of Oakdale's Rules for the PCT periodically in this blog.

Rule #1: ONE TING. (thing) Do one nice thing for the trail everyday. If you see some garbage then pick it up. If there's a toe stubber rock in the middle of the trail, move it. If you can do some trail maintenance even better!

Lastly.... If you see a grizzled white bearded man wearing a red hooded long sleeve wool shirt with a red umbrella and green ice axe, then you can bet that's our favorite outlaw. But, don't get your hopes up cause he can walk much faster than you!
