[at-l] Re: Strange gear

[athiker@plantnet.com (Peter H. Fornof)]

I couple of years ago, while at Neels Gap, Dorothy Hansen told me that a
couple of guys were packing a full sized barbeque grill with one carrying
the grill and the other the propane tank. They were planning on going all
the way with it. She also said a guy actually was packing scuba gear and
planned on diving in lakes along the way.

She said this with a straight face.
