Sent to me by friend James who is hiking the Continental Divide trail with his wife. They are basically professional hikers, been all over the country and world. Work and save, then go hiking again.

Photographed in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, June 29th. First found one in a dry stream bed and then this clump further on

I'm very old and very envious. I've done the AT in sections and it's a slog, but a nice one. The term rollercoaster is
exactly right. It's reassuring knowing that Cyps. are
doing well somewhere.
 
Gov Sanford killed hiking the AT for me...

Eh? Since when do we allow politicians control our decisions? :rollhappy: Pretty ridiculous story though.

Seriously, the AT is a great hike in many places, but mostly is a very long, arduous woods walk. Lots of fun if taken in one season, but it may very well ruin your career path.
 
Ah; yet another reason to not watch the news

Hike the trail, who cares about public perception etc. people are more worried about your opinion of them than you are of theirs

I hope someone knows who Fred Sanford is without googling it
