[at-l] GARUCK LIST

[jbkramer@afn.org (Bryan Kramer)]

I haven't been to one yet but we hope to make the GARUCK. The simple
idea appeals to me, Florida Trail organizes semi-annual meets that cost
a fortune to go to. For a family with kids it costs hundreds of dollars
to attend one of those weekend FTA meetings. Cheap and simple is far
better.
