ZachEY Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 One time, I killed 654 pounds of buffalo meat, but could only carry 17 pounds. What a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holiday Inn Trail works best for me;) that way i can be an expert at camping without even sleeping in a musty damp phucking tent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otter Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I haven't done a whole lot of hiking on the AT. Off hand the only place I can remember climbing is Bear Mountain. I also climbed Anthony's Nose which I reached by parking at Bear Mountain, walking through the zoo (the lowest point on the trail) and crossing the bridge. Right now I do most of my hiking in the Catskills. I am working on climbing the 35 highest peaks. After this, I'd like to start hiking the AT, one section at a time. The 46's in the Adirondacks intrigue me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotta be pretty interesting to keep me interested. do yourself a huge favor & read the 1st chapter. It involves him in a sporting good store trying to buy the right gear. it is falling down funny & I think your wit & humor will enjoy his ability to put his experiences in words.
