One day our intrepid PCT hero, Grizzly, was reading the Saturday
morning newspaper at his cabin.
His spouse, Trail Dust, says to him that she read that there was
a camp-meeting Sunday down at the park.
She wanted them to go.
  
Grizzly says he does not think it will do any good, but Trail
Dust insists they go.
She explains you never know when you will need some extra
terrestrial help out on the PCT.
  
The next day they arrive at the very crowded camp-meeting and
revival.
Eventually the preacher announces,"Anyone with needs to be prayed
over, come forward to the front at the altar."
  
Grizzly gets in line and when it's his turn he approaches the
preacher and microphone.
The preacher loudly asks,"What do you want me to pray about for you,
old timer?"
  
Grizzly bends forward and replies into the microphone: "Preacher,
I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
  
The preacher places his hands over Grizzly's ears and loudly prays
and prays and prays.
Everyone is yelling and raising their hands to heaven.
It is an inspiring sight.
   
After a fewminutes of this, the preacher removes his hands, stands
back and asks,"Partner how is your hearing now?"
  
Grizzly replies, "I don't know, Reverend, it ain't 'tilnext Wednesday."

Say Switchback,.........The lack of the customary "Switchback and
Reinhold" trail humor is making the "HERD" all tense and uptight
and grouchy.....
What the "HERD" needs is some of your good old trail humor to relax
them and put them in a good frame of mind.
