SMELL deSENSITIVITY - we're becoming thru-hikers

Kim's Smell-o-meter: We've moved from being separated to other people turning their heads in disgust as we hike pass.

Our friend & fellow thru-hiker "Wooden Spoon" said he's gets embarrassed to hike pass other day hikers and weekenders because of his outrageous smells. As he passes hikers, he wants to apologize as well as inform them that he takes a shower whenever he can.

At the beginning of our thru-hike, we were told that eventually we wouldn't be able to smell the foul smell on ourselves or other thru-hikers. The other night as 8 disgustingly smelling thru-hikers sat around, Kirstin turned to Britt and sadly stated, "I don't smell anyone." We know we smell FOUL, and we can distinguish the brand of soap and shampoo that day hikers & weekenders use! And wow, they smell good! Too Klean a.k.a. Kirstin is jealous.
