    You know I have to wonder about that. Sure did not seem like a non-profit when I was there. Then again I am not so sure I would know one when I saw it. Not knowing what they do with the $$ and all.

    That is just what it came down to. It was a big disappointment at the time. I remember sitting on that old tree just after the GA/NC border and just felt like I was nothing. I had done all this...

    As someone who dropped out this year I hate hearing "Its just walking". Sorry but the trail is a lot more than just a walk in the woods. Sure if you are already in shape it will not be to bad for...

    I have been a fan of the Belvita soft bake oatmeal breakfast bars. They taste good and seem to stick with me longer than pop tarts.
