[pct-l] You..."Ain't Hard Core"...until you hiked Whitney in Combat Boots

[Reinhold Metzger]

Hi gang,
There seems to be a lot of chatter about what kind of boots to wear on 
your "thru-hike".
I say....you "Ain't Hard Core".... until you hiked Whitney in Combat 
Boots like Karen (my wife) and I did in 1968 or 1969.
