[pct-l] 2008 PCT thru hike Blisters

[Kathi]

I have had very good luck with a strange but effective (for me) product, 
Avon's Foot Works Friction-Control Anti-Blister Balm. If you go to the 
Avon web site and put in the search field "blister prevention" it takes 
you right to it. I got some as a free gift at a marathon I did a few 
years back and decided to give it a try on a backpacking trip and it 
works wonders. Before that I *always* got blisters between my toes.
