My family, Sparky and Orange Peel took the train from Pawling NY to NYC and were in the crowd today on the Today Show. I didn't get a recording. Any one out there happen to tape todays show?? I'll pay you for a copy. Thanks, Cathy

First you wanted to go to Yuengling Brewery. Now you say you went into NY and were on TV while in the Today Show audience. Don't you know hiking is supposed to be about miles per day, speed, start/so called mandated finish dates, bad weather, gear, pack wt, those awful climbs and punishing descents, not getting killed or hurt by some awful wild animal, protecting yourself by carrying a gun because it's reasoned the trails are rife with crime, what you eat on trail, certificates, pride, permits, complaining about trail related things, etc? You have misplaced values cathyss200. Hiking has to be just about hiking. How dare you enjoy yourself on a hike by doing things that are unrelated to hiking?

You must be pretty bad at hitching. The brewery is a straight shot hitch into town from where the trail cross's the road. And you didn't call someone to tape the TV show. Strong indications you are having to much fun and not being responsible and serious. Oh wait, you can't have to much fun. Nevermind.

Is there more than one Sparky?? I met a WB member and thru-hiker named Sparky. Great to hear he's still going, if it's the same one!

Sometimes you can contact the station or the show and order a copy. I got a copy of a news show that way once.

I've only hiked 7 miles in NY on the AT and those 7 miles were right past nuclear lake. It is beautiful! I used to live in Fishkill NY, for almost 2 years.
