    That kind of echos my thoughts. I was looking forward to 5-6 months of getting away from the less enjoyable aspects of society, and some recent threads make me think that on the trail it might be impossible to avoid...Either I'll have to go SOBO and have less numbers to deal with, or leave in February and freeze my butt off.

    Most of the people I've met on the trail, I have liked. I have even made friends and we have section hiked together years after our first meeting.
    If you find yourself in a fair fight; your tactics suck.

    I have no doubt that both my wife and I will come back from our thru with fond memories and new lasting friendships. The drug thing just doesn't fit in with what I had envisioned. I'm sure it's not as bad as it's been made to sound though, at least I hope not.

    I've done about 400 miles. Haven't seen anyone smoking yet. Of course I look like a cop.

    I think it's a bit hyperbolized. In two months of hiking this summer I didn't see a single person smoke, although one wanted to...he just ran out of his dope.

    What? must be a "southern thang" Not round' here. Here we shoot first and forget to ask questions later.
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I think I saw three people smoking on my thru. Unfortunately, this has been going on among some hikers for 40 years, that I know of. I would say that you would see far less of this behavior in the woods than in the streets. This should be one of your least concerns. You guys are very lucky to be doing this together as husband and wife. Enjoy !!
