[pct-l] Fwd: Re: Hiking Pace and Enjoyment

[Tortoise]

Let's see what do I have hanging on my walls that could qualify.

Save-the-Redwoods calendars for this year and next with only a beautiful 
scene of Redwoods for Nov 07 showing.
and a picture of some marine mammals rescued by our Northcoast Marine 
Mammal Center here in Crescent City.

and in my bookshelves a whole shelf of trail guides, etcetera.

So am I "normal"?

BTW, it is raining and sometimes blowing here so I think I'll wear my 
repaired Marmot Precip jacket out later and see if my repair fixed the 
leaks.
