Re: [at-l] T-shirts

  To some hikers, the "grunge" look became an obsession; mostly to see how
far a shirt and shorts would go (last). Some hikers hiking apparel became
quite "holy". Koogliak (94) had to submit to Jean Cashin's demand that he
pick a pair of shorts out of the "hikers box" (at the ATC HDQ), before any
more venturing out and around Harpers Ferry. (Mom Jean just wanted to keep
up a little better image of trail folk for the locals).

  take care,
