<DIV>One of the experiences that affected me most on the PCT in 2001
was the kindness of other hikers. Everyone shared what they had, were
friendly, accepted everyone, and there was this aura of peace around
people. I have been enjoying the banter and the helpful info on this
site. I scroll down quickly past some subjects if it's not a "need to
know' for me. But, I worry about giving my input if this is not
an safe site. I was very upset by the comments on the last
post. Maybe I was missing something--but if I was'nt please keep
up the spirit of the trail and no personal attacks. </DIV>
<DIV>PS Switchblade I love your humor. Sharon
