[pct-l] Lost Hiker Found

[Scott Williams]

Oh, Lord!! I'm losing my mind.  You're right on all counts Mango.  You've a
great editor.  If you just clean up the messes I tell as stories, we'll get
it right yet.  Now don't go telling Emily I forgot her name, she still
facebooks me.  My only excuse is that I was up till 2am last night
finishing packing 28 resupply boxes for the CDT.  I'm leaving Monday and
determined not to live on mac and cheese this time.

Shroomer.
