First of all, I think the proper moniker for a thru hiker (north bound)
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.
