[pct-l] flip flop

[athiker at cboss.com (Pat)]

Excuse me stoves, fuel, knives of any kind. Finished the AT in Dec 2001.
Went with friends I finished with to Chattonooga, next day I got a Greyhound
from Cleveland Tenn. To Youngstown Oh when I got to Cleveland Oh I was
kicked off the bus because the security there said my Leki poles were
weapons, they were in the baggage compartment. They also informed me that
carrying any kind on knife either on me or in my baggage was a felony.
Called my wife in North Lima to come and get me, I had a leatherman micra in
my pocket.
