[pct-l] Never Underestimate a Thru Hiker

[hiker97 at aol.com]

Our intriped PCT thru-hiker hero, Grizzly, is sitting one night in a trailtown saloon with some of his bros and their?hiker babes.? They had just come off the trail that day after some hard core hiking.

A black leather biker gang roars up and parks their bikes outside.? With great commotion they enter the saloon with their biker babes.? The biker gang leader starts to brag that no one can drink like a hard core biker.? And if anyone could drink a whole case of beer in an hour or less, he would pay them $300 and the cost of the beer.? Everyone was quiet.? All eyes were adverted from the leader.? With?hardy laughs the bikers begin to party.

Finally, Grizzly gets up and walks out of the saloon.? About half an hour later he reenters the saloon.? All the bikers and hikers are drinking and eating their hot pizzas.? Grizzly walks up to the biker leader and asks if the bet is still good.? The leader says certainly.? Everyone gets quiet as they bring a case of brew to set up on the bar.

Grizzly starts to slowly pick up bottle after bottle of beer.? Steadily he drowns each bottle.? Finally, the last bottle is gone well under the one hour time limit.? Everyone is amazed at this feat.? The biker leader hands over the $300 and the cost for the beer.? Then he asks Grizzly?where he went previously when he left the saloon.

Grizzly tells him that he went down the street to another saloon to see if he could do it first.
