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? |

Before you go, you should read this book:
![]() It's a very funny and entertaining read about hiking the Appalachian Trail.

That book ticked me off because he started out planning to do a through hike, and ended up just hiking parts of the trail. I fee like he cheated since he didn't hike the whole trail, yet still wrote the book.

I live about 5 miles from the at and have read this book. It is a hilarious book but he skipped just about all of the good parts and didnt give the trail justice. Section hiking is the way to start out tho

Yeah, I might try a couple of multi-day section hikes in the next few years. That might scratch that itch enough that I don't have to do the whole thing.

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.
