[pct-l] Switchback & Reinhold

[Reinhold Metzger]

Switchback,
If I remember correct, you told me some time ago that you will need a 
knee replacement.

Get well soon...the list needs hardcore hikers like you to pass on hard 
earned wilderness
knowledge, earned during a time when only hard core mountain men like 
Switchback
and Reinhold dared to roam around in the wilderness carrying everything 
they needed
to survive anything mother nature could throw at them, in huge metal 
frame packs, living
of the land and making bears nervous.
They just don't make'm like us any more...they don't make'm out of the 
same metal anymore.

Say...you guys think hiking is tough nowadays?...click the below link to 
see what tough hiking
is all about.
