[pct-l] Old Timers....getting lost & forgetfulness

[Reinhold Metzger]

Say Switchback,
I'm not sure what you are talking about....my wife was with me all the 
time on the European Bike & Barge trek.
I take her with me wherever I go.
You see, I treat my women right....you should do the same with poor, 
long suffering Mrs. Switchback....you big brute you.
Making poor long suffering Mrs. Switchback cut the grass with scissors!!!!
At least, I bought Karen a used push mower.

You must be getting forgetful and confused in your old age......yes, 
Alzheimer is brutal when it strikes.
But don't worry,.....they have homes for people like you.

I seem to be getting somewhat forgetful in my old age also.
Sometimes, while hiking, I find myself wondering....am I on the JMT or 
the PCT....or am I on the CDT....or perhaps the AT???
Let's see now,....am I supposed to be going North or 
South?......Hhhmmm........
Am I lost?....NEVER....not me....not JMT Reinhold!!!
I  KNOW  WHERE  I  AM.......I'm somewhere on the North American 
Continent....I just don't know exactly where.
But I am never lost....not me....not JMT Reinhold

JMT Reinhold
Your never lost trail companion
