[pct-l] River Crossing Advise

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

During snow melt in  the Sierras, three male PCT thru hikers unexpectedly 
came upon a  large
raging, violent river.  They needed to get to the other side, but  had no 
idea of how to do so.

The first man prayed to God, saying, "Please  God, give me the strength to 
cross this river."

Poof!  God gave him big arms and strong legs,  and he was able to swim across 
the river in about two hours after almost  drowning a couple of times. 

Seeing this, the second man prayed to God,  saying, "Please God, give me the 
strength and the tools to cross this  river."

Poof!  God gave him  big arms and strong legs and a rowboat and he was able 
to row across the river  in about an hour, after almost capsizing the boat a 
couple of times. 

The  third man had seen how this worked out for the other two, so he also 
prayed to  God saying, "Please God, give me the strength and the tools ... and 
the  intelligence to cross this river."

And God turned him into a woman.  She looked at the map, hiked upstream a  
couple of hundred yards, then walked across the bridge. 
Ha, ha, ha, ha,  ha.
