[pct-l] Bring Guidebooks or Maps?

[lee staley]

Schoomer, wondering why no one's mentioned Riprap and Cold Mountain 
Poems, or Rivers and Mountains without End, etc.?  Incidently, I left my 
favorite copy of WCW's The American Grain and my real fav, Archetypes 
and the Collective Unconscious, in an upstairs closet out in Kansas City 
in 1968.  Wanted to stash something to come back to after the war.  
Never saw them again.  I didn't do well in coming back to a lot of other 
things, too.  I did manage to take a Greyhound to Independence and hitch 
up to Onion Valley, went over Kearsarge...there went my past, I reckon....
