[pct-l] Frogg Toggs and Grizzly Prints



--
[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ]
 First Frogg Toggs have the largest following yo9u will see on the PCT. (
Poncho's a close second) Reason is the price and weigh. They are very
breathable ( As much as any raingear can be) and weigh only ounces. 75.00 for
a complete suit on their web site. Marge is right ! Last year's Kick-off in
the rain looked like a Frogg Togg convention!
   Grizzly tracks? Rear foot on black bear have a slight arch and looks abit
like a human track. Grizzly track rear foot is very taper toward the heel and
is a flat foot. ( no arch) I got to see a solid 2 miles worth on CDT in 1999
just north of the Chinese wall where trail drops down Rock creek. Heavy brush
in this area and lots of mud and horse flies in early august. Bob Marshall
was few hikers,lots of horses and lots more bears!!  A small Grizzly track
and a large blak bear may be same size, but look at the shape and if it's got
arch.
