[pct-l] SWITCHBACK & REINHOLD.....after action reports

[Reinhold Metzger]

Yes Switchback,
The Commies always plot against hard core hikers to soften the 
resistance to the coming revolution.
Yes, you and I go back a long way....to a time when "Mountain Men" were 
"Mountain Men" and Bears & Saber Tooth Tiger were nervous.....nervous 
because we were the stalkers and they were the stalked......I mean we 
were frying Grizzlies & Saber Tooth Tigers over open flame fires.

I also value my scalp....that is why I keep my hair cut short.....The 
Indians value long hair scalps the most.
They do not put much value on crew cut or bald scalps.
Yes, baldness does have its advantage in Indian territory.
Also, bald never turns gray.
