[pct-l] Second Thoughts on Trail Slushies

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

You know I was thinking about not  demonstrating the trail ice slushies at 
the Trail Fest gear  presentation.  It is extremely simple to show how to do it.
 
It struck me that having everyone  banging along the trail in 2006 with 
different flavors of ice slushies might not  be mountainman and mountainwoman like. 
 It just does not fit the  image.  
 
You are supposed to be hiking in  SoCal with your tongue hanging out and your 
skin hot to the touch.  The  trail slushies just don't fit the picture.  It 
is just not  right.
 
May be I should bring out this  invention in 2007 or 2008.  I do not want to 
be accused of degrading  the trail experience.
