 Subject: [pct-l] HIKE ON!!!! 2008!!!
 
     A toast to the hikers!
   A toast to the stars!
   A toast to the mountains
   And to Energy Bars!!
    
   Raise a cup to trail angels,
   To peaks high and wide
   Raise a cup to the glory 
   Of a very long stride!
    
   Think not of the blisters, 
   The heat or the fear,
   Instead Hike On to a 
   Glorious New Year!
    
   Resolve to cut weight
   Resolve to hike far
   Sooner or later
   You'll be back up to par!
    
   So on to the New Year!
   To 2008!
   Get up off the couch now,
   Before  it's too late!
    
   May your New Year be happy
   May your freedom be found
   May each hike be a blessed one
   On Earth's hallowed ground.
