<div>Actually, that would be a FABULOUS resupply option! - Switchback drops a gourmet lunch, complete with crystal stemware (well wrapped in bubble wrap, of course) from his nifty balloon and there you are miles from nowhere with all kinds of goodies. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>All alone hanging upside down from a rapidly-detaching scraggly little pine tree on the side of a cliff? Switchback will save you!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Out of toilet paper or lost your favorite smooth scraper rock? Switchback merrily thumps you on the head with a particularly softly quilted triple roll... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's almost better than having a trunk monkey (if you've seen the car ads we have here in Portland in which an orangutan jumps out of the car trunkand leaps to the rescue whenever a motorist gets into a scrape).</div>

I think I will thru baloon the PCT. I will guide over the trail with a mortorized baloon with basket. No walking. No bears. No supply problems. Cool. "Hey, down there. Anyone have some more hot pizza and cold beer?. I am getting a little low up here."<br>
