Appalachain Trail
 
Has anyone ever hiked the Appalachian trail?? I know it takes a long time but I think I might do it with a few buddies.

Anybody?

Drink plenty of antifreeze for hydration

Before you go, you should read this book:

It's a very funny and entertaining read about hiking the Appalachian Trail.

no, but that would be a great hike. You should watch Deliverance before the hike though. Drew: Goddamn, you play a mean banjo.

Only a small section. It would be the experience of a lifetime, though, Mr. Pushead2 ... to hike the entire tract, I mean. It you go, take some bug spray and a flare or two.

Not the Appalachain, but I did do the Oregon Trail once.

It was a pretty awful experience, actually. My friend, Jebediah, got dyphtheria. His wife, Mary got bit by a snake. My oxen got loose. We tried to ford a river and failed miserably.

The hunting was sweet, though. Totally made it worth it.

Haven't done it. Want to do it.


It's amazing how many things the above two sentences can be applied to.

I'd invest in the most badass pair of hiking boots made.

I prefer the Oregon Trail. But you gotta be careful, mother****ers be getting snakebit all the time.

This is one of those things that would be an incredible experience but that I don't think I'll ever get around to doing. I mean, everyone can just hop on and off a short trek and I might do that someday, but hiking the whole thing requires some sacrifices. Basically leaving Maine at about late March and finally staggering into Georgia at the end of the summer. Going 10-15 miles every day, mostly cut off from the world, limited entertainment, sleeping in a very spartan camp every night, starting out clean-shaven with short hair and ending with a decent beard and long hair, etc.

It sounds cool, but I'll probably find other life experiences to go for.

It's okay - he only beat you by about 50 minutes. Did you actually have to play the game to generate the graphic or what?

LOL

My attention was divided when I scanned through the thread of an OT reference. Completely missed Dante's post.
