No, but do you remember the Russian family that was hiking the PCT a few 
years back ... Man, wife, and two young (7-8) kids? I was hiking south one day and 
met one of the kids. I was surprised to find him/her "hiking alone." Luckily, 
Mom/Dad weren't too far behind. I heard that they left the trail (maybe in 
Oregon) to earn a few bucks so they could continue hiking.
