[at-l] To change the subject... The Half Gallon Club.

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

I think the whole half gallon ice cream tradition started with the first 
Warren Doyle "Expedition" in 1975.  In 1977, several hikers attempted to eat 
a half gallon in Damascus, some succeeded and some got sick.  I've got some 
ancient slides that show hikers struggling to overcome a half gallon of ice 
cream.  

I do not know when this custom became common place at the half way point at 
Pine Grove Furnace.  The ALDHA Companion and that other book didn't exist in 
the 70's.  Times were tough back then.
