[at-l] Re: September 10-12 Maryland Hike

["David Hicks" <davehicks@worldnet.att.net>]

I've been holding off on a decision Re: September 10-12 at-l Maryland Hike.

Would like to join you, but months ago I signed up for a week of trail
building with the PATC/USFS Massarock Crew -- September 12-17.  Supposed to
be on-site and with camp set-up before dinner Sunday.  I could probably skip
dinner and orientation/organization meeting, as I'm a veteran member.
However, don't think I'm up to the logistics for the back-to-back endeavors.
I use total different clothes, shoes, tents, packs, etc. for backpacking and
trail work.

So, good luck and happy trails to you.
