[pct-l] Trail Tunes

[Tom Aterno]

There is nothing better than making your own music.  Of course, I  
can't bring my trumpet, but I may bring a harmonica next time.  Wait,  
if I bring my trumpet, I can play revelry for all the appreciative  
hikers at 5 AM.

I forget where I saw him, but this past week, I saw a backpacker on  
the trail with a mandolin.  Relatively heavy but beautiful sounding.
