"No, honey; I really, truly, honest-to-gosh was hiking the Appalachian Trail - just ask Mark and Smoky the Bear."
"I through-hiked the Appalachian Trail all the way to Buenos Aires!"
"I hiked the Appalachian Trail for five straight days and never broke a sweat (until the trip was over)."
"What do hiking boots and secret trips to Argentina have in common? Both come with strings attached."
"Mark Sanford said it. I believe it. That settles it … NOT!"
"Don't cry for me, Argentina - wait, I mean Appalachia."
"Steak and red wine: breakfast of AT champions."
Now that is what I would call a blue blaze
The mountains are calling and I must go.......
John Muir, September 3rd, 1873, letter to Sara Muir Galloway
