<div>I knew that would get your attention...LOL.....Ok, I know I can't be the only 'wrinkly' one here so I'm putting this out to those of you with a few grays on your head and cracks in your face.......</div> <div> </div> <div>I wear a full set of dentures. Just how does one take care of dentures while doing a thru-hike or even section hiking? They require a tad more work in keeping them clean and secure in your mouth; tis a tad hard to eat granola, etc, with these falsie's. In my past younger life; when camping and day hiking...I had teef. I could go days without brushing; quick rinse of the mouth with camp water...no problem. I could eat granola and/or just about anything. When I got the dentures, we were living aboard our sailboat. Living aboard a sailboat and while cruising SoCa and the San Juans; I had access to running water, hot water, marina bathrooms, etc, and I learned what I could eat and what I couldn't, (definitely the down side
to wearing them) besides tricks for taking care of them. Talk about a major adjustment, but well worth the new smile...LOL. </div> <div> </div> <div>I know it's going to be way different when Chris and I get out there on the JMT in '09. So..........</div> <div> </div> <div>Is there any one out there who also wears falsies and can give me some helpful tips with what they've learned along the way? </div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks,</div> <div>Ria aka Maria</div><BR><BR><div align=left><FONT face=verdana color=#0000bf>"I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world </FONT></div> <div align=left><FONT face=verdana color=#0000bf>and a desire to enjoy the world. </FONT><FONT face=verdana color=#0000bf>This makes it hard to plan the day." </FONT></div> <div align=left><FONT face=verdana color=#0000bf>~ EB White</FONT></div> <DIV align=left><FONT face=verdana
