[pct-l] 2013- Hiking Partner(s) Wanted/Needed

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good evening, Clare,

It’s good to avoid a commitment at the start.  Plan to attend ADZPCTKO in
late-April and meet the whole fam-damnly of hikers starting out from there.
You’ll be starting out with a bunch of people and can just naturally
gravitate towards others of your liking

Enjoy your planning,

Steel-Eye
