Hello Everyone. About 5 years ago I camped at Dockery Lake in Georgia and went to that popular Outfitter Store, Mountain Crossings at Walasi-yi. I bought a polyester t-shirt that read, "The Appalachian Trail, A Footpath for Those Who Seek Fellowship With the Wilderness". I'm wondering what your favorite A/T t-shirt printings/graphics are.
Also want to share this with you: Henry D. Thoreau said in his piece on "Walking", "I think that I cannot presrve my health and spirits unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the the hills and fields absolutely free from all worldly engagements.... "This is one of my favorite "Quotes"
Happiness is A Choice.....Brotheral
I'm fond of the "AT Answers" shirt that I bought from Lagunatic in 1990. Still have it... but it's too precious to wear hiking these days.

I like the "Two paths diverged in the woods. I took the one with the white blazes, and it has made all the difference" shirt that I saw somewearing at Trail Days a few years back. Anyone know where I could find one?

My favorite one has a list of many of the peak elevations along the AT on the back. Of course, it serves to remind me that I still have a bunch to climb in the remaining states of NC, TN, and ME!

Great now I can see me mailing back t-shirts to feed my t-shirt addiction during my hike.

My Hiker Pick Up Lines shirt I picked up in Gatlinburg.
"The AT...It takes more head than heel." From a Trail Days t-shirt honoring Grandma Gatewood. I think from '97? Had a drawing of her famous sneakers on the back.

Okay, Almost There - don't leave us in suspense - for those of us who haven't seen the shirt or heard the lines... what are they??? Do they work for both men and women? :D

Briarpatch:
The shirt you mention is mine. We should have some more made up for Trail Days; just find me in town or at the Billville campsite. If you can't make it, send me a PM in May and we'll see what we can do for you!

... the WB one I just got from AT Troll.

I don't know all of them off the top of my head, but when I get home I will post them tonight for your reading enjoyment...I'll start a new thread titled "Pickup lines for AT Hikers"
One had to do with offering free tick checks!:eek:

I've seen photos of that one! Can you take a photo or type up what it said? The only answer I could make out was "15-20 miles a day"
I want the one that says "I *whiteblaze* Whiteblaze"

My favorites are my Billville T-Shirt and my Hobo 10th anniversary shirt. Oh, and the one I wear that says "I Am a Strong Woman, I Climb Big Mountains."
I've seen photos of that one! Can you take a photo or type up what it said?
Here ya go.
In 2004 I bought one at Neels Gap that said "Same Shirt, Different Day".
I have worn it out. I'll buy another in a couple of months and send it home
I saw a guy in Maine in 05 wearing a shirt that said "If you can't get there from here, you're hiking the wrong trail".

Already posted my favorite ...but my second favorite is one my former co-workers gave me when I got home from Katahdin. Simple T-shirt with a bootprint on the front and in a small caption below the print is stenciled:
HIKED IT ...LIKED IT !!
