[pct-l] socks

[Jim & Jane Moody]

For my partial thru-hike this year, I used toe socks with a thin, longer sock as an outer sock.  Not even a hint of a blister in 1,000 miles.  I suggest buying one pair of toe socks nd trying them out in the neighborhood or the gym to see if you like them.  I like longer socks to keep the top of my snow gaiters from rubbing a sore on bare leg. 



NeoAir pads are very popular - light weight and give great cushioning.  You have to blow it up, and it costs about $150.  Be REAL careful not to puncture it.

1. I read recently about preferred socks.  I think there was one that was alpaca 
and wool.  Could anyone out there give me an idea of good quality socks and 
where to get them? 
2. My husband has decided to go backpacking with me.  Yeah!  Which sort of 
inflatable pad would someone recommend. 
3. Has anyone tried dehydrating spaghetti?  How did that turn out? 

Thanks, Sherry
