[pct-l] the aches and pains of the geezer hikers

[Stephen Clark]

There are a few of us so called "Geezer Hikers" that are doing the trail
solo (no support team). All the planning, all the packing, all the
mailing... just takes a little more time and a little more out of us but we
manage. Kudos to those of you that have someone to help. Be grateful,
whatever the cost, and don't ever take them for granted...
Quackers
