Wow scheherazada you're cured. You've gone from fat, broke, and depressed to fabulous in just a few posts. Okay, still broke, but who's counting? The AT should be a walk in the park for you. Keep us...

but you did respond and added your own jab.
I think I've told this story before, but since you guys have related a few skunk encounters, I'll tell it again...
So, in 2000 after hiking through a nasty thunderstorm in the SNP I came to Gravel...
Someone mentioned Vivaldi's 4 seasons, good pick. I offer J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations - preferably Glenn Gould's second recording of same.
Fiction aside, here is the real Hero of Kent: http://www.athikerpictures.org/hikers/12272 I hiked with him for a bit in the SNP. Good guy!
Awesome remodel!
How about leaving the moderating to the moderators.
Okay, since you're gonna make us guess - Let's see you're too young for Viet Nam, so W Pacific, mid 70's, military, head spinning possibilities - are we talking ROK or PI?
Book, jeez! Give the kid a nice thank you card with a $20 bill stuffed inside. Students are poor!
Poor hippy kid doesn't stand a chance
Wow, you sure told me!
Nah, not Lone Wolf, I met him in 2000. Contrary to popular belief he's the same in person as he is here, pithy all the way. One of my fondest moments on the AT was spending time atop Baxter Peak with...
It's interesting to show up at a nice campsite with plenty of flat ground for tents and plenty of trees for hammocks. The tent or tarp people will pitch their shelters and move on to more important...

Who is that lovely lady in the 3rd. pic?
Extreme Makeover is gonna call any minute now.
In 2000 there was this guy who kept showing up at shelters, road crossings, etc. The first couple of times it was like, "heck yes you can give us a ride into town to pick up beer and pizza for...
Careful, once you cross over from trail angel to pack sniffer, it's tough to go back. I hear it takes rehab and a 12 step program to regain your sobriety.
Where did I say I'm bothered?
Andrew,
You decided to chuck it all and do a SOBO thru-hike after a conversation at a bar and some internet research.
You tell us you'll be working some while hiking - an arrangement with your...
I suggest closing down all the "other" trail forums on WB. After all, this is "A Community of Appalachian Trail Enthusiasts". Says so right at the top.
If you're on a budget, pick a nice round number that fits your budget. Whether it works or not is up to you. Personally, I treat zero days as luxury days.
