[pct-l] Guidebooks - don't leave home without them in pieces



Good evening, 'Dancer

You re-wrote the entire section?  WOW!  Maybe it could happen in the comfort
and convenience of my own den, but I tried . line at a time . on the trail.
That is, on the trail with sweat burning my eyes and steaming my glasses,
and with a billion mosquitoes getting high on DEET fumes while they read the
menu.  It wasn't too successful.  I tried holding the sheet upside-down and
reading it.  Nope.  I tried reading it through a mirror.  Nope, that didn't
work either.

I think you have the key.  Excel.  Just make a column of NoBo instructions
then Copy/Paste Special/Transpose, and behold:  SoBo!
