[pct-l] Fw: Water is Soooo Boring

[Edward Anderson]

In the "drink" category I brought Tang to drink with lunch and along the trail.  
That is the drink that was selected for the astronauts
. 
My drink of choice with breakfast and dinner was "Hot Chocolate Sensation" by 
Swiss Miss.  Of all the Hot Chocolate drinks that I checked out it is the one 
with the most calories. 160 calories!  To that I added Nido powdered dry whole 
milk made by Nestle"s. This upped the calories still more. (For those, like me 
who need the calories while on the trail.) The result is really delicious too!

Dear PCT,
 the Hot CC
I've been busy so I haven't been paying attention to this thread.

At the grocery store you can get a box of very small single serving packets
of crystal light.  I use one for a liter of water.  I bring a bunch with me
on the trail and I always enjoy drinking them.  They don't take up a lot of
room.
