[pct-l] Fw: Switchback

[Reinhold Metzger]

> Switchback,
>     If you want to do the most supported JMT in style, forget the pack
train
> and the motor coach and the helicopter and do like Cleopatra did her
travels
> on a float carried by a dozen float carriers with ample wine and grapes
and
> a shade canopy so your tender skin will never be exposed to the hot Sierra
> sun and having flower petals thrown on the ground so your royal feet will
> never need to make contact with the Sierra dirt.  Of course, there will be
> men blowing trumpets to make your presence known so that other mere
peasant
> hikers can step aside and bow in your honor as your royal float passes
with
> you waving at them like Queen Elizabeth.  You will be tossing grapes to
> acknowledge their presence.
