[pct-l] Proper Trail Etiquette

[g l]

Hehehehe-

Good ones Tortoise.  Now let's see you do the same thing for the AT!  There's 14 of them suckers!!!

So yeah, I'm sticking with MexiCan.  Look for me at the KO.  I'll be the one that has that printed on a special T-shirt!  I may have it copyrighted!

And "Amen and pass the mashed potatoes" on getting older and not worrying about what others think!

Wheeew- a MexiCan hopeful for 2008
P.S.  I plugged both your suggestions in to Dictionary.com and no luck.  Sorry....

would be CaOrWa. Hard to pronounce but distinct.
And for those going in reverse -- WaOrCa, which is some new kind of Orca
(killer whate).

Finally, one of the few benefits of getting older is that I worry less and
less about what other people think.
