+1 on that!!!!! lol Some of us have to head back to work after our SAME hundreds of miles that was spoken of.
How many hundreds does it take to be equal?
What about that sobo that gets to the pond at 641 miles into their trip? however I am on the back nine of my completion with my 1550 miles so why does it frick'n matter what someone's intent is on the trail. I understand the "walked from next road up" folks, but whats the difference in someone walkin 300 miles or 1000 miles. Its rained, you've walked, ate, stayed in hostels, a tent, shelters, there is no difference other then at the end of my couple hundo I am going to go back and contribute to society until I can get back out there. That's my rant if you couldn't tell.

Good thread comes to mind...
How undermining the word "just" can be....
