[pct-l] re: Elite on the trail.

 Jim;
  
  It feels like there is a lot of truth to what you said Jim,
  The trail was a wounderful break from the life we live in such a complicated world.
  Going on the trail, with its dificulties was more enjoyable, even when  your postholing or crossing big streams. Then there was the  Views...Ahhhh
  Down boy! Woooah! Stop,... Youll end up taking a hike for days....:-)
  
  To bad there isn't a way to get paid to do this sort of thing?
  
  Any ideas Anybody?

The "elite" in any community outside the military are only "elite" because 
someone has declared them so.  If you find them on the trail, they'll be 
sweating just like the rest of us - and many times, enjoying it less.

One of my many reasons to hike is that: A bad day on the Trail is better 
than a good day at work.  That has hung over my desk at work for over 16 
years.  There's no boss in this world that likes that philosophy.  But, like 
"elites," bosses need something from you - so give Ceasar his due, but not 
your soul.
