[pct-l] packs for thru-hikers

[wandering_bob at comcast.net (Bob Bankhead)]

Be advised, in about 4-5 weeks, Gossamer Gear will have a new, revised 
version of the Mariposa for us to look at. Supposedly, it is a whole new 
pack, a blend of the best points of the Mariposa and another pack. Should 
weigh about 21 ounces.
