[Cdt-l] Thru hiker PR

[Paul Magnanti]

>> Needless to say (but needless to say I'll say it) all of us are ambassadors for the hiking world. Make a good impression, be nice and >>we'll help smooth the way for those that follow.


Ain't that the truth.

Listen to Mom! :)

Always say "Please"
Always say "Thank you"
Realize that people assisting us is a privledge and not an expected right We are guests and do not treat people like servants
Sending a "Thankyou" card at the end of the journey also gives some good PR.. 

God knows we may need it. :O
