[pct-l] Technology on the Trail

[dsaufley at sprynet.com (dsaufley@sprynet.com)]

There are many artists on the trail, of all descriptions.  Some paint, write, sing, philosophize, and compose.  It is part of what makes the "movable feast" that comes to our door so richly textured and wondrous.  Others (like me) do none of the above very well, but have a great appreciation for the creativity of others (such as their music).

It's all about tolerance of one another, IMHO.  We could never host hundreds of hikers without it.  I would suggest that one off the most important items to bring along with you on the trail is tolerance.  It doesn't cost or weigh anything, and it will make everything about your journey through life more enjoyable.

exactly why I'm taking the guitar... I've never heard Teddy Bear Picnic and 
hope to God, from your classification of it, that I never will...sometimes 
the trail mantra can be something new and inspired-- and actually good!
