PRIVATE EMAIL-- QUESTION...Re: [pct-l] Public Announcement

[calliger at infolane.com (calliger@infolane.com)]

Here is an idea I just got since I?recently have been able to

afford a lot more travel -- so I have

been considering something for additional rewards, but don't

know if it?is too personal for the list and I deeply?want to respect the

achievement and the hiker and have some fun supporting it

as well. So please just flame me with a pilot light and hold

onto your blow torches please--

This could be fun...so let's get **REALLY** serious about this reward business:

I will up the ante and add another bond,
buy dessert and also add a good stiff drink for all...

AND --- I am surely crazy....but I have been single
for 6 years now and getting pretty tired of being that
way and have not meet a compatible hiking mate 
that is really serious about the outdoors...but I have
been only looking for a few months...so....

...tadaaa...drum rollllll pleasssseeeeeeeeee...

if your are so inclined and we are romantically
compatible (A BIG IF-- I know)...I will pay for an
all-expenses paid trip to hike the Alps together
from say Chamonix, Zermat, --Mt Blanc, Matterhorn,
Eiger loop in the summer of 2007--perhaps hut-to-hut-
details TBD! Honeymoon trip??(smiles) -- as long as your PCT FF
is totally verifiable/docunmented/witnessed. (log
entries of names/locations/angels, etc are one way)...

Also...the winner has to walk in and not crawl in (smirk!)
to the restaurant.

Out-on-a-vunerable-limb-here,

Richard
