[pct-l] Peeing water blister town eats bear snakes

[meadowed at comcast.net (ed)]

These 7 topics, well  perhaps not in this order seem to head up the most
common topics of the day for L D Hikers.....
Hows your pee looking (bowel movements ok)?
How far to the next water, got any to spare?
How are the blisters coming along, need moleskin?
How far to town....will the P O be open today?
Do you have enough food left to get to town?
Are you hanging your food or what?
How many rattlers have you seen?

I sometimes wonder if a nonhiker even understands why these seven topics and
you all can add in a few others seems to head up the days list of
conversations.......Your hiking alone the trail and its hot and your
exausted and you come across another wearry hiker on a break and these
questions just pour out of your mouth....total strangers ask you hows the
color doing AND you know they are not talking about the color of the leaves
...

Maby on a perfect weather day and on an otherwise problem free moment and
you see a hiker sitting down staring at the viev or see him just smelling
the many scents you might say something like Awsum, ain"t it!!!!!!Trail
angles/host never ask the question DO YOU BELEIVE IN.......before the door
is opened......Thristy, try g-d!

No i think for the most part, well the subject of a supream being may come
up its not the first thing that is discussed out here on the trail. In fact
because its a taboo touchy topic for some folks its only brought up if you
feel safe to brouch the subject.....You will not offend anyones with the 7
basic questions you want an answer to and why push it and go there!!!!

Maby if you folks reading these posts had a better understanding of us
hikers and our own questions we ask each other out here you would not
clutter up this site with taboo touchy topics.....
