[pct-l] Food Ideas

[Montedodge@aol.com]

   Here's a great plan for a five month hiking menu> Breakfast= oatmeal and 
milkman with a hefty portion of poptarts. Lunch= more poptarts washed down 
with tang. Dinner macaroni and tuna with poptart for dessert. Do not add or 
take away any idem from menu, period!!! ( this menu may soon be adopted by 
many school disticts and rest homes ) Space Food Sticks may be used instead 
of pop tarts if found, but be sure to check " use before date " before 
eating. PS  Enjoyed talking to " Eric the Red" and Steve " Caffeine Addict " 
Queen at Portland meeting. They have great humor and enjoyed their stories 
and misadventures!!  Also liked meeting Joe again and his line about he meant 
to order his prime rib " cooked ". Eric and Steve have the sense of humor 
that only months on the trail or oxygen depravation can bring out. ( not 
unlike our Southern list members and social outcast Greg,Tom and Sly have )  
Of course, none of the people possess the knowledge or hiking skills that I 
do. ( One would be in eminent danger if using advice attained from any of 
these people )   Ideal hiking gear should be tent=7lb,14oz. Eureka timberline 
complete with all stakes and hardware.  Pack= 5lbs12oz Kelty Serac or 
Jansport D3   Boots = Vasque 4lb 4 oz hiker twos   Stove= Optimus 8r complete 
with exploding tank 1lb 9 ozs. If anyone can come up with lighter and better 
equipment, I'd sure like to hear it!!    Monte " I'm so bright" Dodge    As 
Austin would say " Ya Baby Ya "
