<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First, the disclaimer: I have no long
distance hiking credentials whatsoever, and I have never met nor have I read Ray
Jardine. But I did overhear something at the ADZPCTKO a few years back
while 30 of my favorite volunteers were peeling 200 lbs of potatoes. A
woman hiker was saying to another woman, "You know, when you are cold and tired
and wet and your feet hurt and it's too far to your next campsite, just
remember, it could be worse. You could be Jardine's wife." Bob Riess
