    Default what do you write on signs and plaques along the trail to encourage the hikers?


    Dear Fellow hikers:

    I believe the quitting (pulling the plug or any other name we may use) is not an unfamiliar term for thru-hikers. If it was in your power to install a plaque or sign along the trail to encourage hikers to push more what would you put on these signs?<O></O>

    Here are two examples that came to my mind:<O></O>
    1-Every trail will end sooner or later, just hang on.<O></O>

    2-You are not the only hiker who has questioned his or her willpower on this trail but you are the only one who has the answer.<O></O>

    Do you have some of sentences of yours to share?<O></O>

    Just give up, loser. (This would piss me off enough to walk another 20 miles easily.)

    More signs? Are you serious?
    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.

    Dear Karma, I have a list of people you missed.
