[pct-l] Where's Switchback?

[hiker97 at aol.com (hiker97@aol.com)]

I am CDing.  Quick, someone throw me a life-line for this sinus infection.
 
The List is disintegrating?  Now I feel bad.  I was sort of enjoying my vacation from the List. I miss it, but it was good to be free from my harassment responsibilities too.
 
Well, I know what I will do.  On January 30 I will be 59 years old and that is when I will come back on the PCT-L.  Neat.  This gives me time to get well and think up some really good irritation talking points.  
 
I am going to train with my old 17 ounce GoLite Ray Jardine Breeze pack from now on.  It seems to work fine.  I just do not know about water weight in it.  I carry quite a bit on my waist belly pack.  I think it is 47 ounces in two Propel Gatorade bottles.  Not bad. What is nice about these bottles is that they have deep ridges and the holding strap fit nicely around them.
 
Also, I am going to use the inexpensive men's slippers from Walmart from my camp shoes.  I can use them for sleeping slippers too for my warmth.  I did this on our Section E expedition several months ago. Very light and versatile.
 
TO BE SICK IS TO BE WEAK!

See, I told you they'd miss you.  The list is already disintegrating.  An attack now and again will be very much appreciated.

Yes, your hiking buddy, Switchback, is off the PCT-List for a while.  I made a New Year resolution to kick back and relax as far as List inputs.  I have not been on the List since January 1.
 
I will sneak back and attack when people least expect it.  Heh, heh.
 
I am sick right now with a sinus problem, but hopefully I will be ready for the big Section A expedition coming up.
