[at-l] pack contents

["Charles W. Davidson" <wb4pan@mindspring.com>]

Hi Gang,

	I went on an NBATC hike yesterday. We visited the 1943 crash site of a
B-25 bomber on Sharp Top mountain. The AT went over Sharp Top in 1948
when Earl did his hike. This is at Peaks of Otter in the region of
Boblets Gap and Cornilious Shelters. 
	I just bought some new postal scales at Sam's $26.. They weigh up to 4#
in 0.1 increments. They have a nice tare function too!
	It has been a while since I weighed everything in my pack. So here it
is. This includes the cloths I wear but does not include shoes or Leki's
:-). I would loose some of the extra cloths on a short weekend hike now
also.
