[pct-l] 2008 Kickoff After Action Report

[Reinhold Metzger]

I don't blame Switchback for selling toilet paper at the KO.
At 25 cents a sheet it was a bargain.
Toilet paper is worth its weight in gold......just ask any PCT hiker who 
ran out of it.
I ran out of it a few years ago on the JMT and would have paid any price 
to avoid using flat rocks and horny toads.

BTW...AsABat does have an alibi.....I saw him drinking 
lemonade.....after he got off the ground roiling around and laughing 
hysterically, shortly after Switchback returned to our camp site.
