[pct-l] 2018 story from the trail

[Douglas Tow]

A wonderful friend of mine, 63, started the trail recently, and passes on
these experiences:

1.  Not making the miles he thought he would make in the beginning.
2.  His feet are doing better than he expected.
3.  He isn't a hungry as he thought.
4.  The altitude has been an adjustment.
5.  Making lots of friends.

All of this is normal, except most have some problems with their feet at
the start.
A bigger appetite will come.

The friends are the best part...
