SWITCHBACK & STILLROAMING,..............a word of caution........I would not
wear the ankle lenght overcoat to close to the border. If the border patrol
sees you they may mistake you for illegal immigrants and detain you.   I
mean,  what's your first impression when you see somebody in the
backcountry, close to the border, with a backpack, ankle lenght overcoat and
chickens on a lease?.............ILLEGALS..........BULGARIAN
INFANTRY..........am I right???

I CANT WAIT TO MEET YOU GUYS ON THE TRAIL WITH THE ANKLE LENGTH OVERCOATS
AND ALL.
KEEP ME POSTED WHEN & WHERE YOU GUYS WILL BE HIKING SO I CAN TAKE YOUR
PICTURES & GET YOUR AUTOGRAPHS.

That is an excellent idea, only why wait?  You can do it next weekend at the
PCTA Trail Fest.

After my Heated Stone Therapy, Roman Rosemary Scrub, and Gentleman's Nail
Grooming at the Mission Inn Kelly's Spa, I will probably prance out in my
sleeping bag black silk long johns and pink fluffy ducky/bunny camp slippers
for signing autographs and have my picture taken with battle harden
backpackers.  My mountainmen/women buddies of former and future trail
campaigns.  I will get my tanning booth cook up done prior to the spa
treatment, so the pictures will come out cool and I will look like an
experienced thru hiker.  You know, the look of NoBo thru hikers coming into
KM after 200 miles of tough campaigning across desert and foot hills in
SoCal.  Neat.

I remember years ago there was a wrestler named Gorgeous George.  I think I
will change my trail name to Gorgeous Switchback.

Cheers, Gorgeous Switchback
