[pct-l] Thru-hiker eyes

[Montedodge@aol.com (Montedodge@aol.com)]

 Ever notice how fat people look when you are a thru-hiker?? Even people who 
are not thought of as heavy look fat and fleshy when compared to someone who 
has been walking a few months . I think the thing you miss most about any 
long hike is the lean and weathered look that you get in return. The downside 
is that to the non-hiker community, you then look thin and sickly. ( And 
maybe a bit grubby) . Food for thought.
