[ft-l] Need Some Boy Scout help - Trail Segment Recommendation??

[ft-l@mailman.backcountry.net (Otten Family)]

Hi Jerry and Kenneth,

I sent this email to my husband at work.  He also is an asst. sct. master,
and may be able to make some suggestions.

He has been hiking with our troop for five years and we are what used to be
known as S. Brevard District.

This email also reminded us to check with the hunting schedules where our
trails might cross or run close to hunters.

Good luck...Linda Otten 8.13.02 @ 10:41 est
