[pct-l] HIKEPLAN

[Scott Williams]

I read it the same way as Terry, as a tongue in cheek way of cheering you
on.  Knowing Dicentra just a bit, I'd say it was humor and not a cut at
all.  Hell, as a geezer who hikes, I just do what I can do and it usually
surprises me that I can keep up with so many much younger folks.  Then
again, maybe they just slow down a bit so they can hear the "history on the
hoof" as we hike along.  It pays to have had a lot of crazy experiences
over the years.  Kids love to hear 'em.  Or, maybe they're just polite
kids.  Hell, it doesn't matter.  Just hike on at your own pace.
