Just found out a movie about the book Wild is due to be released this fall starring Reese Witherspoon. While it should be a good movie and is based on a great book by Cheryl Strayed who hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in the mid 90s, I am really concerned about it jeopardizing my planned hike next year. Evidently there has already been an influx of 1000 or so hikers since the release of her book this last year. The movie will likely increase that number 2 or 3 fold, putting my hike next year in possible jeopardy if they decide to limit permits in reaction to the influx. All my training and planning could be for not.
