[at-l] 2011 thru hike

[David Addleton]

oh man! a shelter on a stormy, dark night, with rain pouring and being
really tired

ya! love shelters except when I haven't hiked in a long, long time . . . .

somebody said to me we eat about 8 spiders in a lifetime during our sleep .
. .

when I heard that I wondered how many mice do we eat in a lifetime?

Clyde, you got a 32 for that mouse? or do I have to swat it with my titanium
mug?
