[pct-l] contacts

[yogilists at hotmail.com (yogi yogi)]

I know many hikers who wear contacts while thru-hiking.  I've met hikers who 
take them out each night, but most wear the disposable contacts.  They're no 
more work than they are here at home.  Actually, I took my contacts out more 
often while hiking than I do here at home.  That is because while 
thru-hiking, I took them out every night I spent in town, because I knew 
that I didn't want to take them out when I was sleeping on the trail.  Here 
at home, I have the opportunity to take them out every single night, so I 
put it off.

Contact solution is readily available in trail towns.  Even the smaller 
resupply stores have a small toiletry section (tylenol, calamine, 
toothpaste, shampoo) and many have contact solution.  It may not be the 
brand you're used to using, but you can definitely find some.  Tangent may 
not have seen contact solution in the stores because he may not have been 
looking for it.
