Personal Information

In 2006 I completed my section hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington State--a four year journey of about 500 miles. Visit Tom's 2006 PCT Trip to read all about the last section. Visit Tom's PCT Pages to read about my other PCT trips and information about the Pacific Crest Trail.

My interests include reading, movies, hiking/backpacking, and weight lifting. For the incredible film archive originally developed in Cardiff, Wales, but now a commercial site [sigh--the fate of everything good on Internet], click on Movie Archive. For some personal tips on hiking and backpacking in the Northwest,including links to National Forest Service pages about trails in western Washington, a long file of posts to rec.backcountry about how to avoid blisters, and even color pictures of me during trips on the Pacific Crest Trail, the Bechler River valley in Yellostone and the Continental Divide Trail in Montana, click on Tom's Hiking Page and on Tom's Pacific Crest Trail Page.

Join other readers who have taken a look at my archive of weight-lifting posts from the old misc.fitness newsgroup, its offspring, misc.fitness.weights, and several weight-lifting listserves in cyberspace, Weighty Matters-- An Archive of the Best of the Net on Lifting Weights.
