Misc Appalachain Trail

NewChief · 01-07-2011, 09:58 AM

A buddy of mine (best friend in college) has done the Continental Divide, the Pacific Crest Trail, and some trail that's similar in Spain.

He used to work at EDS as a Cobol Programmer, then he just snapped one day, dropped out of society and became a ski and surf bum (ski here in winter, move to South America to surf in the summer). Eventually he decided to make a career out of it. Now he is a NOLs instructor and dating an Aussie. Working NOLs courses in New Zealand at the moment. He and his girlfriend came and stayed a couple of nights with me over Christmas Break.

I'm a little jealous, but I just keep telling myself that his life is ultimately empty and unfulfilling without the joys of children.
