[at-l] then/now Re: planning for a thruhike

[Carla & Dave Hicks]

Now if you want some old-school:

Back in the '40s my gramps taught me how to make a bed w/ fresh cut evergreen 
boughs.

And FWIIW, that was the drill in the ball bat shelters on the AT.

;-) }}

Yep, my beard is a little longer these days.

BTW -- For my friends, cardiac rehab is going well.  Don't know if they (or my 
better half, for that matter) will let me back on the trail for any 
long-distance-hiking.  But I'm up to 2.5 mph on a slight incline w/ my O2 
holding at 92-94.

Miss you guys.

Nobody ever even said "When I was your age, we used army blankets tied
to 2x4s with baling twine and stove pipe wire."  I'm just sayin'....
