Oh yes. I would much prefer Neelix over Clooney!! Are you out of your mind?? Hmmm??? Neelix may be the nicest guy in the world, but Clooney?? I would let him carry my tent any day! (You know I am sure that a lot of BS goes on here, but I actually met Clooney when I was playing blackjack at the Venetian in Vegas about 5 yrs ago. I heard his voice and he came over and shook hands and spoke with me. Absolutely could not have been any nicer!!)
Al Roker and Abe Vigoda yo-yoed the trail together.

Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
I believe that Justice Douglas hiked the C&O Canal, not the AT.
There was a time in the late 1960's/early 70's when the Canal (National Monument) was in rough shape and needed a funding increase and Justice Douglas was involved (successfully) in raising awareness.
He should be a hero to hikers, he was one of us.

Others have published that this is the same William O. Douglas. I can't say that he is myself, but I believe this is accepted wisdom.

I'll try to get famous before '14 rolls around. Then you can all say "I knew that a-hole when he was tic**f!" I promise not to charge any of you for autographs.
Tho she hasn't had the chance yet, American soccer star Abby Wambach has several times expressed an interest in thru-hiking the A.T. I have no doubt she'd not only finish the Trail, she'd OWN it.
A guy I hiked with got Alec Baldwin to autograph his guidebook in Kent.
There is a shelter in Vermont named for William O. Douglas, I think.
Mackey is very outspoken. Just not in a good way when it comes standing up for what he believes in....
