    I'm going to assume train wreck is divorcing the husband. Not that there would be anything wrong with one of the guys divorcing their husband for the alimony money!

    No, I volunteered for the science experiment. I'm hoping for a really bizarre one that will make me grow a 3rd leg, so I can hike 33% faster!

    I made over $400 selling plasma before my 1st hike ($20 a week) which went towards my pack. That was 15 years ago and I can still see the hole.

    Once you are over 50 EVERYTHING is a self-funded scientific experiment.
    May as well be a thru-hike.
