more funny stuff!! lovin' it over here! :-D<BR><BR>> Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:26:56 -0800<BR>> From: pfreiman@ucsd.edu<BR>> To: pct-l@backcountry.net<BR>> Subject: I think the herd is . . . Two more cents (I had change left)<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> First of all, I don't like being associated with a cow (herd). I think we should call the "herd" a "gaggle" instead. I don't mind being associated with a goose. In fact, I enjoy it. Second of all, the only time (as Gumby points out) that the gaggle is a "problem" is at the trail angel's house. Here is the solution: I say we can only spend 4 hours at any angel's house. That way no one bunches up. Too drastic? Ok, 5 hours or as long as no more than 8 people bunch (or gaggle). I personally love my hiking brothers and sisters and don't see a problem, but if other people see a problem there must be a problem.<BR>> Capt Bivy<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> From: "Bill Batchelor" <billbatch@cox.net><BR>> Subject: [pct-l] I think the herd is . . .
