[pct-l] Followup Backpack Question

[darkbodhi at yahoo.com (shane wohlken)]

Christine "Ceanothus", 

Hmm, I see you earned a name (Hillside Straggler)
that I should probably go by according to my
hiking partner (ha, ha).  Well, I don't know much
about that flower (although I'm sure I will
before the end of next year), but it is very
beautiful by the picture, as well as sounding
resiliant, so I have no doubt that you chose
wisely.  At this point, I have a sneaking
suspicion that my hiking partner will endow me
with my name.  She has already come up with a
choice few, but thankfully they haven't stuck
(whew).  I guess I best hurry and come up with
one before I'm saddled with a name I'm less than
thrilled with.  ;-)

Thanks for sharing and the smiles,

Shane
