[pct-l] Hiking Pace and Enjoyment

[Reinhold Metzger]

Yeah, strange  home made pack but it works good for me on those ultra 
light fast packs.
As far as the Grand Canyon plaque, you don't earn it you just buy it at 
the South Rim.
Switchback, naahh he is not MIA it's his day to the house work...I think 
his wife has him doing the dishes.
