[pct-l] Hiker Hunger

[lilacs007 at yahoo.com]

Ned, please tell me that Hiker Hunger also happens to people who ummm hike to their kitchen for ridiculous amounts of ice-cream w/ sugar cone (specifically Blue Bunny)

Otherwise I will have to concede that 1/2 gallon a day is NOT normal. And I don't like being wrong!! :) 

Btw cool findings!

Subject: [pct-l] Hiker Hunger

Mountain Education just got back from our annual Snow Intermediate Course running this year from Echo Summit (hwy. 50) to Donner Summit (hwy. 80) over 7 days and 64 miles and wanted to reiterate our findings about Hiker Hunger from our students’ experiences on this trip.

The first three days in they ate a “normal” volume of food. 
On Day-4, Hiker Hunger started in and they all mentioned feeling “really hungry” and wanting to eat more than they had rationed.

We told everyone to bring 8 days of food for this 7-day trip. By lunch on the last day, no one had any food remaining in their packs and everyone was dying to get to the nearest restaurant!

I am posting more details (trail and trip) at TheTahoeRimTrail at yahoogroups.com
