    Green Mountain Man passed in his sleep at Big Bald shelter in 1999.

    And the unfortunately named Phoenix died in 2006 - I think at Mt. Collins Shelter.

    I'd argue it's more complicated on the AT, simply because of the frequency of bars, ABC's and convenience store coolers can make walking a consistant direction a bit of a challenge.

    Yup. Too big. Too crowded. Too noisy and too drunk.

    I'll probably still show up, but I'll be the older coot reminiscing about Trail Days of my youth. And possibly Trail Days' from before my time.
