[pct-l] PCT/Hiking jokes

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

It's possible.

At Timberline Lodge I ate:
2 cups of yogurt
fruit salad
bowl of granola, maybe two
Belgian waffle with berries and whipped cream
small croissant
other small pastries
some kind of cheesy potato casserole
bacon
about 7 cups of coffee
I only stopped because I couldn't slouch in my chair anymore.

I skipped lunch that day but ate dinner. Was quite hungry. I may have  
also had a pint of ice cream that day, but I wouldn't call that lunch.

The best thing about hiking is the food. The worst thing about hiking  
is the hunger. And the absolute worst thing about reentry is gaining  
all the weigh back even without eating like that anymore. :(
