[pct-l] Women & Underwear on a PCT Thru Hike

[Melanie Clarke]

Dear Diane,

You are one tough lady and, like, so gnarly cool, I have to meet you some
day.  Part of my exercise plan is to read your posts as I gain such an
enormous amount of strength and inspiration.  You make me feel like I'm a
spoiled diva or something by comparison   I'm getting tougher but I'm still
a little too repressed to free "the girls" on my hike lol!  Until I
grow testicles or hair on my chest, stay strong!

Toga
