[pct-l] Just joining....

[Cat Nelson]

Here I thought hiking desert would be miserable! What do I know! Have had

Taking the Mountaineers Club - Navigation Class in the pouring rain then
the Snowshoeing in and Camping Class on the PCT in Washington last year was
fun.

doesn’t care how old or fit you are or how much you’ve trained. Virtually
anybody can get out there and enjoy walking."
