[at-l] Firsts...

[Nina Rogers]

I think I was in Vermont the first time I had to sleep with my stinky
socks on the outside of my tent because I couldn't stand the smell. I'd
hiked in them, in the rain and muck, for three days.

 

The next morning, I put them right back on my feet and felt only mildly
grossed out. I think I passed some sort of milestone in my evolvement as
a hiker that day. :)

My first was on the first day of a hike. Three of us were sitting on the
floor of the shelter. I said "someone's feet really stink" & realized I
was the only one who had his shoes off.

	In Manchester for resupply... but ran into a young woman farther
north who was doing the LT as a test for the AT (She got the answer "No"
unfortunately...

	 

	But it gave me an idea for a thread... "firsts" on the trail.

	 

	Her first was the first day spent hiking all day in her
rainsuit, and unzipping that evening was surprised that she could
possibly smell that way.

	 

	My first would have been the first day of hanging dirty socks on
the back of the pack to air, smelling something evil, and eventually
realizing that the smell was following me (but no one else was...)  <g>

	 

	Next?
