    Light linen pants or must I get the quick-dry fancy fabrics?

    Thank you! Yes, my boots and backpack arrived a few days ago. I tried on several pair and all is well in that department. I ordered wool compression socks for the plain and hike. I've been trying them out and they feel really good. I might slip in a pair of short SmartWool. I also got a...

    Flying into Toulouse on June 13th, then on to SJPDP. Anyone else?
