Thread: Trail name?

  1. #1

    Question Trail name?

    This past Saturday, I took my 11-yo g-son on a day hike, on the “AT” (his first time). We hiked the “AT” up past “guillotine-rock” (Apple Orchard Mtn) to the back of the FAA radar-tower, then reversed direction and hiked to Thunder Hill Shelter. At the shelter he got to meet some Thru-hikers (I forgot their names), saw some deer and a pair of the LARGEST great-horned owls I have seen in my 61-yrs.

    Well, he has fallen in love with the experience and wants to go back ASAP. The trip was a pleasure, to have introduced him to something I love and believe in so much. These young people are the future of the “AT”.
    -------------------------------
    Now: He is 11-yo, tall, skinny, very-academic, loves animals, the outdoors, mountains and his name is William (we call him Will).

    Need help coming up with a Trail-Name for him
    Cherokee Bill ..... previously known as "billyboy"

    guillotine - but that might be too brutal for a kid.

    Reason I thought of guillotine was that whenever someone asks how he got his trailname, he can reply that that was his first hike on the AT.

    See you on the trail,

    Billy... I want to applaud you for taking the opportunity to spend some real and meaningful time with your grandson! As a youth worker, I can tell you that today's young people suffer from "nature deficit disorder"..... The opportunity you gave to your grandson will make an impact on his life long after you are gone...... As far as a trail name
