[pct-l] Strange sights on the PCT

[Reinhold Metzger]

Switchback,
You are my hero,.....what a brilliant idea.
A hiker cart.....now why did I not think of that.
I will be your hiking buddy from this day forward.
One hiker cart can carry the gear of several hikers.
And since we don't have to carry the gear, we don't
have to be concerned about weight and take along
all kind of goodies like chips and beer and even hiker babes.
Since you are bigger and stronger than I am, I figure that you
will be pulling the hiker cart.
Of course, I will be assisting you by making the cart lighter
by drinking beer and eating chips as we go along.
The hiker babes will enjoy riding on the hiker cart.

We will be the envy of all the hikers, with hiker babes
and beer and all.
We may even need two carts to have enough room
for all the lipstick, curlers and cosmetics the hiker babes
will bring along.
But that is ok, because we want our babes to look good
and you do have two hands, so you can pull one cart with
each hand.

Boy oh boy, I can hardly wait, hiker babes and beer and
we don't have to carry any of it.

JMT Reinhold
Your exhited trail companion
