[cdt-l] cdt-l Digest, Vol 47, Issue 6

[Skot Phrea]

Thanks for your input. It has been called to my attention that Backpacker 
has changed ownership at least once in the past year and a half. But in my 
opinion it does not justify ignoring correspondence and backing up their 
commitments.  I predict that we will be seeing and smelling those disgusting 
cologne samples in the near future. Happy Trails !!!

>>Howdy Folks ! Backpacker Magazine did not do anything that they said they

>>one set of maps that our team leader received.I do not go into wilderness
>>without my own maps ! ( I could have brought my own if only backpacker or
