At the start of the hike I decided to bring some cash with me. I’ve kept it in my back pocket in a plastic baggie. Yesterday at the Saufleys in Agua Dulce I reached back for it AND IT WAS GONE. I found that the seams of both of my pants back pockets had fallen apart. When I found out I uttered curses and other verbal feeling of remorse. Now I had no money for my resupply. Oh my gosh what was I to do? One of the other hikers, Colonial, overheard my mumblings and asked if the money was in a plastic bag. I said yes and he told me he had found it and turned it in to the Saufleys. What a lucky and wonderful result! I got my money back. I can now resupply. Oh and for the next hour or so I sat at the sewing machine and stitched and stitched those nasty pockets up. The result is not pretty, but it’s functional.
When you are done, complain to the company that made these. They should be ashamed of making such a poor product .
Thank goodness for honest people and for all those years of watching Kathy stitch to know how to sew your pockets back together!
That’s a really good sewing job!
