[pct-l] Trail Humor - Trail Angel Support

Reference: One day at trail angel stop-over, let's call it Hiker Homestead, a bunch of
dirty thru-hikers come walking in.  They had just come in off of Section D
of the PCT.  It had been a hard grinding hike with a hot sun and even deep
snow on parts of the trail.  They had faced everything to get to Hiker
Homestead and the welcoming hostess.  Let's call her Thunder Bolt.

Thunder Bolt was famous for washing the clothes of ragged hikers coming in
off the trail.  When she met this particular group she was amazed at the
overwhelming smell.  It set a new record at Hiker Homestead for
offensiveness.  The hikers were really hungry, so without delay she said she
would whip up some her world famous hiker stew.  But first she asked that
they at least change their underwear before coming to the patio table for
the feast.

So without delay they took off to the nearby trailer.  Once inside they
quickly discussed what to do to please the wonderful Thunder Bolt.  The
solution was how hikers think after long on the trail.  Grizzly trade his
underwear with Trail Blazer.  Splash traded his underwear with Gorp.  And
Chung traded his with Jester.  But poor Switchback was not wearing any
underwear, so he didn't get any vittles.

Switchback replies: I want to thank T-Bolt, I mean L-Rod for her kind comments.  I am very funny and the acknowledged PCT trail humorist and satirist.  Also, I am very wise.  This is why you should visit the Pirate's Lair at the upcoming Kickoff at site #22. 

--- Learn how to bear bait and attract only the biggest bears to your campsite.
--- Learn what your gear weighs to one tenth ounce.
--- Learn how to make Switchback's world famous one ounce hands-free umbrella holder.
--- Get your shelter stakes painted florescent orange
--- Get hiker treats.
--- Meet Stinker the Trail Skunk and Switchback, the PCT-L "On the Watch List" backpacker
--- SuperSecrets seminar on Saturday at 10:30 AM at site #22.  Stop by the Silent Auction first to make a bid.
--- Location of the official Kickoff Hiker Box of free gear.
--- And many other surprises.

Again, Stinker and I would like to thank L-Rod for kind comments and implied endorsement of the Pirate's Lair site at the Kickoff.  Very nice and supportive.  There are always some chairs for her and Buzz Saw at the Pirate's table at the Kickoff.  They could greet everyone and encourage them to make it to Hiker Heaven.  Very cool.

By the way, Stinker and I will be at Warner Springs Resort Wednesday and Thursday prior to the Kickoff to goof off and have copious amounts of fun.
