Once again the Trail Pirate has been maligned as a plunderer/sacker of gear
ideas. I had used Chaco sandals years ago on the trail, but gave them up
because of the weight. The new ones are supposed to be
20% lighter. Also, I used the Injinji Tetratsok socks on my
Grand Canyon expedition last year, but with boots -- I used them again this year
too. Ten years ago I was hiking in Keen sandals in the Sierras, but with
regular hiking socks -- even in heavy snow storms up in Lyle Canyon in Yosemite
--- no problem with water proof over socks. I thank you and your humble
apologies accepted. Though I must admit your post got me thinking about
the Chaco sandals again. Heh, heh,
heh.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Delicious ideas to please the pickiest eaters. <A title="http://living.aol.com/video/how-to-please-your-picky-eater/rachel-campos-duffy/2050827?NCID=aolcmp00300000002598" href="http://living.aol.com/video/how-to-please-your-picky-eater/rachel-campos-duffy/2050827?NCID=aolcmp00300000002598" target="_blank">Watch the video on AOL Living.</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
