    Any one want to go for a walk?

    April 15....the date of my demise as I attempt to walk the Appalachian Trail. C'mon out and lets take a stroll.I figure I'll be dead by the 19th but I'll leave enough money on the carcass for the first one to find me to have a good dinner on me.:d
    Of course I know what I'm doing,gee whiz......ouch,owwwww

    What section are you planning to hike? (or are you through-hiking?)

    I would love to walk part of the trail with you but unfortunately the Appalachian Trail doesn’t come close to Texas. But good luck on your adventure.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

    bring a weapon, don't store food on the ground too close to your campsite, bring some road flares in case of bears.

    That is one GRAND goal. I hiked a small part of it with my Scout troop a few years back. We enjoyed it. It is a great trail.

    Send us some pictures. We will follow you electronically.

    Sorry dude,no weapons.The trail is safer then most places and guns are dead weight(not to mention illegal in more then a few places),as it is I am trying to cut ounces out of my pack weight.

    I don't want to carry 60 lbs like I did in Alaska in 1988,that turns it into the Appalachian Death March.:d
    Of course I know what I'm doing,gee whiz......ouch,owwwww
