Moses Horwitz, Jerome Horwitz and Louis Feinberg. They'd lift my spirits after a hard day's hike!!

I would prefer a beer psychologist at every hostel.
He's not alive, but I would have enjoyed Teddy roosevelt on the trail.
By the way, Mark Sanford was after some AT (Argentinian Tail), just not THE AT (Appalachian Trail)!

George W. seems to have polished off a fifth most nights he was President. The step up to a half gallon should be manageable...

Are you crazy? Think of all the needless crap she'd be carrying. Curling irons, 10 pairs of shoes, a Chihuahua, cosmetics.......I'd rather carry her. She can't weigh more than 60 lbs.

I would prefer the trail get less publicity to slow development along and better preserve it.
But I can't get enough of Tim Allen, I like Chiwetal Elfor too.
Charles Kuralt, Paul Harvey and Garrison Keilor - good storytellers.

Dalai Lama comes upon a hotdog vendor ask for "one with everything." The seller hands him the hotdog and says "that will be $2.00" The Dalai Lama hands him a $5 dollar bill. After a pause the Dalai Lama inquires, "change?". The seller responds, "change comes from within."

I can just see it. He will take a short cut back to the trail from the shelter missing 50 feet of the trail and the next day crossfire will have two hikers from whiteblaze debating if the ATC should award him the 2000 mile rocker or not if he completes the trail.
