Who would you Hike with?

[sheepdog]

Jesus has definatly got to be the best hiking partner.
At the end of the day he could heal all your injuries.
He could feed the whole shelter with one pack of ramen and one pouch of tuna.
He could turn the spring water into wine.

Country Singer-- Sara Evans Now that would be interesting and fun.

I'll reference you back to Miss Janets post on that topic...

Yeah we for sure wouldn't be putting in many miles. It would be fun for a while though.

For me, Daniel Boone. Love to see how that man did his craft.

I believe he learned it in The Green Diamond...

[yappy]

Johnny Mac I love that guy !..

[OregonHiker]

Theodore Roosevelt definitely. I think he'd like this face of the Park Service he helped create.

Teddy created the Forest service too.

[Dogwood]

Also like Darwin, William Bartram, Robin Williams, John McCain, and Shackleton

Steven Hawking.

Dead people: Andrew Jackson is not a bad choice. He could walk in his prime. Plus he would carry the heat and the liquid libation. Now with Sacajawewa, my other historical choice that would make for one interesting hike.My nephew who was KIA in Iraq who loved backpacking, would enjoy the irony and provide comic relief.

Live people: My brother who introduced me to backpacking, and my hiker friends. In addition, some of the people on this site would make great hiking partners and Miss Harper Lee, in her younger days, could bring along her book "To Kill A Mockingbird."

Gandalf
Kurt Vonnegut
Richard Feynman

[Wise Old Owl]

My sincere vote would be this guy....

[warren doyle]

Don West, Gandhi, John Muir, Paul Robeson, my wife, son, daughter and Little Debbie.

That would be interesting, if you hiked with them both....Jackson a definite racist when it came to Native Americans, and Sacajawea, an actual Native American.

Ghandi- may not count for much in a fight, but imagine the extra food you would have.

[Frozen Bait]

Neal Cassady

[Monkeyboy]

Rosie O'Donell.....always needed a pack mule.

[Lellers]

First of all, excluding spouses does not affect my decision in the least. My hubby would be the LAST person I'd take on a thru-hike. Nice guy, but he's an indoor boy. He drives me insane whenever we try to camp together. The last time we were out together, he woke me up at 2:00 a.m. from a comfy sleep. He was all in a panic and wanted me to know that it was raining outside. Gaargh.

OK, so if I could thru hike with someone from history I think I'd want to go with Pope John Paul II and Katharine Hepburn.

[fiddlehead]

Long as we're talking about people from another time: Julius Caesar, Marco Polo, Sir Edmund Hillary, Dr. Livingston, Grandman Gatewood, Edward Abbey.

Present: The Dalai Lama, Gelzen Sherpa, Rainman (VT), Ramblin Rich, David Gilmore (don't know if he walks but sure would like to learn some riffs), Tuba man (Now THAT guy could jam), Roch Horton.

With John Paul II, you wouldn't have to hike......you could just ride it in the Popemobile.....

Helps with bear attacks, too......
