[pct-l] Hiking Haiku

[cmkudija at ca.rr.com]

"But your feet show it; they're long fellows. ;=)"

I was wondering if someone was going to get around to the Longfellow
reference before I did ... my dad used to say this frequently (he was part
of the generation that entertained itself by making up limericks).

So my feet are short...does that mean it will take me longer to thruhike
than the longfellas?

(trying really really hard to get this into PCT-land, enjoying the list's
chat room aspects, and apologizing to any newcomers impatient with this
thread's lack of useful information...)
