[pct-l] 2013 Super Hike

[Reinhold Metzger]

There....you did it again Switchback......I  TOLD  YOU  NOT  TO  
PROVOKE  ME.

I was not suggesting that you select Strider, AsABat, Elevator, Meadow 
Ed, Donna and Yogie as hiking partners for your 2013 PCT record breaking 
super hike....they would not be able to keep up with you.

I was talking about you using them as  "FLOAT"  carriers  "FAN" girls 
and  "TRUMPED"  blowers on your 2013 " CLEOPATRA  STYLE"  super 
hike.....you know, the one and only absolute correct way to thru the 
PCT,  as described in my  4-16-2009 post.

You never make it to the border your way.
MY WAY...the..."JMT REINHOLD  - CLEOPATRA WAY"....the one and only  
"ABSOLUTE CORRECT WAY"
is the only way you are ever going to make it to the border.

So there....I said all I wanted to say, perhaps more than I should have 
said, and am retreating, once again, into my  ''Lurker'' mode

DO NOT PROVOKE ME AGAIN.
