    I hear yaz on the lightning thing. When I was in the roller coaster I was on the ridge running to try to get to the blackburn center before I got hit by one of those bolts. My brother and I got caught in a nasty storm at night and every lightning bolt lit up everything around us and scared the $hit out of me but I needed to make it to the blackburn.We made it alive and well.

    My greatest fear?

    That I'll be walking down a trail, y'know, minding my own business then Geraldo Rivera jumps out from behind a tree, shoves a microphone in my face and asks me about that 3HP electric motor that disappeared after the mechanical treatment project was cancelled.

    Geraldo is scary but I am more afraid of running out of water so I can't make coffee.

    Oh man, if you're going to post stuff like that you really need a disclaimer on it!

    Studies show that it's very dangerous to sleep outside in a tent

    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    A lot of these snakes give warning bites, and release a smaller amount of venom if any. Plus, they are unlikely to bite unless you step on them. I'm sure there are handbooks on just what to do though.

    clouds of mosquitos - West Nile, Malaria.

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Getting caught sleeping on the discus pad in the middle of the Dartmouth practice field instead of Velvet Rocks (where there is no water) So far, I have gotten away with it twice '02 and '08 but the last time - the sprinklers came on at 3:00 AM too!

    I'd have to say my biggest fear would be dehydration.

    And serial killers.

    My only fear was mice chewing holes in my backpack, tent, dry socks, etc....

    Varmints!

    There's a ridge walk in VA that has piles of rocks all along the way. The folks I was hiking with kept referring to them as zombie pods. I don't remember exactly where, it's after a stile and pasture crossing and near a shelter that is .3+/- straight down.

    So, I guess I have to add zombies to my list too!

    Not being able to check my email, and change my FB status, and make post on WB, and reading all the goings on in the world like ***** FINALLY making this world a better place, and sitting in the living room listening to my twins watch CARTOONS on the 60" plasma I bought to watch football on....wait, did I read this wrong. Are we supposed to be saying what we are affraid of?! Crap. That's easy...Big Foot.

    BTW, I'm not afraid of anything on the AT (I am phobic of homos).
    I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
