Pikes

I thought I found some pikes or "trekking poles" with some cross country ski's at a garage sale but when I got there they were gone.( might eventually buy some) I also never heard back from backpacker about My subscription, I guess those two free magazines put Me in a black book or something. So it hasn't been a very good month for Me with regards to hiking, considering I haven't exchanged My boots(which I meant to do in August) or made it out.
