[pct-l] Strange, who you meet in a Bar

[kdpo@pacbell.net (Ken & Marcia Powers)]

Marge, I'm sorry that I wasn't at Whiskey Jacques to see you all and the
presentation!

Another coincidence...When Ken and I were scoping out the CDT for next
year's hike we ran into three hikers at a restaurant in Glacier NP. Of
course we had to ask where they were hiking. One was Jonathan Ley who I knew
only from reading his PCT '98 journal. It's a small world, except when
hiking mile by mile!

I hear you have lots of snow, and now more? I hope spring comes early!

Gotta hike,
Marcia and Ken
