[pct-l] backpacking socks

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

Remember to try the socks with the shoes your wear - or get the socks first 
and then the shoes. The shoes need to be big enough. And on the PCT, you 
need to change socks and wash socks often to keep the dirt off and prevent 
holes.
