[pct-l] Hiking Pace and Enjoyment

[g l]

HAHAHAHA- very funny Reinhold!  IN YOUR DREAMS!!!  Well, these plaid shorts don't look anything like boxer shorts........as they come down to your knees almost.  Anyway, there you are with what appears to be a strange but interesting pack system hanging off you.....two green thingies on the front (one on each side) and a fanny pack too?  Beats me.........

I like the sounds of your Grand Canyon plaque.  Maybe I could earn one some day.  What does it take (hike-wise) to get one?

I like to tease and annoy you........it gets a reaction.  I appreciate that you take it all in good spirit.  

Just for the record, I look very similar to you in MY boxer shorts!  Hehehehe

Is it just me, or has SB been conspicuously MIA today?  Prolly (yes, I know it's really "probably", just copycating the kids lingo) out playing with his new solar charger, and therefore lost forever in the snow covered mtns as his GPS, cell phone and pocketmail fail.  He better make it back quick!  5 days and counting until he becomes bionic!!!

Wheeew.

about me?

Heavens no they are not from Good Will....they are  ''Dirty Girl''  
boxer shorts....sexy little critters....no???

HEY!!!....What do you mean except Reinhold, who was around back then???
I'm barely getting into my prime....I'm a late bloomer.

As far as my favorite trail related items hanging on my walls,  
hmmm,....let me see,...pictures, lots of them including a 5 foot 
panorama of Garnet Lake with Banner  and  Ritter in the back ground on 
my beloved  JMT.  Ohhh yes, a wood Grand Canyon plaque with the 
following inscription:....I  HIKED,  DRAGGED  MYSELF,  COMPLAINED,    
NEARLY  PASSED  OUT  &  BARELY  MADE  IT   OUT   OF  THE  CANYON.

If there is any area that I hiked as extensive as the ''Sierra'', it 
would be the  ''Grand Canyon.
