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

Love is a beautiful thing.  And trail love is so extra special.  Extra wonderful.
 
Maria a beautiful Latina PCT hiker fell in love on the trail with with the PCT thru-hiker, Jose. She planned to marry very soon.  She was so happy about her wedding plans, she decided to tell her Papa. 
 
Papa told her, "Maria, you'll have to find another.  Your Madre does not know this, but Jose is your half-brother". 
 
So Maria forgot about her Jose, and soon planned to marry the Yo-Yo PCT hiker, Ricardo.  But after telling papa again, he said, "Maria otra vez there's trouble still. You cannot marry Ricardo, mi hija.  Please don't tell your mother, but Ricardo and Jose are your half-brothers." 
 
Maria had no choice but to go to her mama. 
 
Mama already knew what Papa had said and told her, "Mi hija, do what makes you happy.  Marry Ricardo or marry Jose, because you are not related to Papa."
