I have come to accept that having cold, wet feet is a given on a long-distance trail. It is certainly a reason not to romanticize the trail too much. I had some "water proof socks" for Colorado and the Gila, and my feet still felt like blocks of ice. One simply has to deal with it. Have fun out there in 2010!<br>
