[pct-l] three simple rules (for me)

[Edward Anderson]

Hey Ikem,

You will be going So Far this summer.  This time I'm sure you will make it all 
the way.

I will be at the KO from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. I am bringing 
five hikers down.  I will be wearing a blue knapsack so I will be easy to spot. 
I look forward to seeing you again.

If you can't get a ride to the KO try either Greyhound or Amtrack.

Jereen says "hello".

How was your big trip? you and your wife were going on a 6 week trip
overseas as I recall.

I'm waiting here in Eugene for a ride to San Francisco. there, I'll
hook up with a guy heading to KO. I'm really on my way now.

Good luck on your ride. See you on the trail.
