[pct-l] The herd is acting strange....was Pack weight?

[Reinhold Metzger]

Switchback,
There is something wrong with the herd.
I know the herd gets all wild eyed and goofy this time of the year as 
barn fever takes its toll and the herd gets anxious to break out of the 
barn and stampede down the trail, but this is different.
They are talking all kinds of crazy things.
They are talking about  taking knifes, guns and even bazookas on the trail.
They are talking about suspending their packs from helium balloons, 
putting wheels on their packs and even motorizing their packs.
To tell you the truth I am really concerned about this years 
herd......something is not right....something is wrong.
They are too nervous, tense and up-tight.....it is not good for them to 
be all up-tight and tense.
What they need is some good old ''Switchback Humor" to loosen up before 
they have a nervous break down.

You better give them your best stuff.....and you better make it quick.
