Through the binoculars he looked great. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…8ebdedc9822a2d2ea2e50bdae ” Back before smart phones when I used to take my children to the zoo nearly every week, I woud tell them to take memory pictures. You may not be able to share them that easy with others, but you will always have them to reflect back on.

Thus 99.5 is 100%, but 99.45 to 99.49 are not. Now I can clean my cache next time phone promprs me.

    New Rock Gap Shelter in NC. If I get to thruhike in 2025, I wonder how many of the shelters will have been replaced since my 2010-2021 section hike of the AT. I guess it doesn't matter that much since I usually stay in my tent. But I do enjoy cooking and eating my meals at them. citizen-times.com/story/news/l…lin-replaced/69978056007/

    Quote from max.patch: “I was talking with Jack once and he said "You know, only about 5% of all 2,000 milers actually hiked the entire trail." I replied, "No, thats not right." I could tell Jack was looking forward to an argument. I continued, "It's more like 1-2% or so." After a moment Jack replied, "You know, you're probably right." ” I assume that was Baltimore Jack.
