The path to a hiker’s heart…
… runs through his feet. Another way to say it: all gifts of high-quality hiking socks are gratefully accepted. A few weeks back, Wade at Outdoorzy.com sent me an e-mail saying he had something he’d like to mail to me. Discounting the likelihood that he might be a long-lost co-conspirator of the Unabomber, I sent him an address, and what to my wondering eyes should appear in this afternoon’s mail: a brand new pair of Wigwam Trail Mix Fusion socks, which look to be about as high-tech as you can get without adding space suit boots.
I figured the least I could do in return is throw some on-trail publicity Wade’s way, so I slapped his bumper sticker on my old orange day pack.
Hildy regards this move with suspicion. That’ll teach me to adopt a commie cat.

I’d like to hear how those socks work out! I have been on the look out for a good pair of hiking socks since the old cotton socks just aren’t cutting the mustard anymore.

I just got a thick pair of SmartWool, and they are working wonders! Much better than my medium thickness socks. Hard to believe.
