[pct-l] Food Cost

[chelin at teleport.com (Sharon & Chuck Chelin)]

Good morning, Hiker,

As a matter of fact I do have some ... a little ... time available to extend
the hiking season via contemplative and analytical thought during these
long, damp Pacific Northwest evenings.  I do not watch TV, which frees a
huge amount of time compared to most Americans.  If I can share some
thoughts and experience related to hiking, perhaps others can share the
latest intrigues from "Survivor", or comment on some shocking Ophra expos?.
Anyone doing so, however, should please so note in the topic line so I can
delete it unread.
