He was hanging by his arms on the snow with his feet not touching the ground. The group dug him out without harm. As we finished the hike he made a comment that he knew someone would post about it on the internet. Two minutes later I said “already done” and showed him my Blackberry. <o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div

It didn’t bother me at all. I guess if you really want privacy adopt a trail name that you use only for the trail, don’t let anyone in your other life know your trail name, and wear <span class="SpellE">Groucho</span> Marx glasses and moustache so no one at home will recognize any pictures that get posted.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial"

intend that to be the consequence, but it’s a new reality in our real-time world that didn’t exist years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></font></div> </div> </div> <br> <div><font size="2">No virus found in this outgoing message.<br> Checked by AVG Free Edition.<br> Version: 7.5.516 / Virus Database: 269.17.13/1211 - Release Date: 1/6/2008 11:57 AM<br> </font> </div>_______________________________________________<br>Pct-l mailing list<br>Pct-l@backcountry.net<br>To unsubscribe or change list options (digest, etc):<br>http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/pct-l<br></blockquote><br><BR><BR>-Wheeew-<br>www.trailjournals.com/wheeew/<br>---->MexiCan----> 2008<p>
