[at-l] Broken Hiker

[Slyatpct@aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

The best advice I ever recieved about making it to Maine was "keep 
persisting"  If you don't have them, get a pair of Lekis, an elastic knee 
brace or two and lots of ibuprofen and try to make it to the next town.  Then 
try again.  

I went through several injuries that put me "way behind the crowd", but it 
was my hike, so I wasn't all that concerned, when I finished, only that I 
did.  Not only was it my dream, it was my reality.  

Best of luck, take it slow and keep on hiking!
