2009 hiking
What and Where were your most fun memories on the trail..??
Enjoyed meeting Mother Nature, SmokeStack, Johnny Thunder and Freefall in Vermont !!
People are the best part of the AT.
PS - How could I forget hosting Minnesota Smith....interesting guy !!!!!
Springbreak in TN, hiking with Stitch and Ragamuffin was a great mix from cold and wet, to beautiful... April in VA with Old Man River, meeting Ranger, Spokes, Cascade, and lots of others. Rain, rain, rain... McAfee Knob, Pearisburg, Daleville... But like Jeff said, the people are the best part!
Hiking above treeline in New Hampshire in the middle of June .
Bagging a couple Presidents, Jefferson and Madison along the way.
Also section hiking in May during the week of rain and no
Getting lost is a way to find yourself.

It's all good. Every mile of the AT hiked is a memory.

My blue-blaze summer tour rocked. Overmountain Victory Trail, Laurel Falls and the Hampton blue blaze, the Virginia Creeper Trail (by bicycle), Grayson Highlands and both the Tennessee and Virginia portions of the Iron Mountain Trail. Just a fantastic trip over 10 days time.
When I finish section hiking the entire Alabama portion of the Pinhoti Trail in three weeks, that will make for a close second.
If people spent less time being offended and more time actually living, we'd all be a whole lot happier!
I had a great hike with my wife and sons in June.

Hiking with my good friend Signage on a section at Easter time(we met in VT in '07). And my hubby cooking us crabcakes on the trail.
Riding on Ron Haven's bus heading into Franklin, NC and listening to him talk about dressing up as "The Great Astrologer". Now that was a some memory!

Hiking the Presidential Range on a 135 mile visibility day - August 27, 09. Wow!!!! That would be a notable "where" and "when" example.
I could add countless ""who" examples as well. The many friends we made on the trail enriched our experience deeply.
Hiking with my Daughter in the Roan Highlands, amazing weekend!
The Annual Winter Hike with family and friends at Old Man's Cave in Ohio. The Grandma Gatewood section of the Buckeye Trail.
"every day's a holiday, every meal a feast"
Spending a day in Franklin with "The BUS driver" listening to historical stories, eating the best Mex food on the trail, moving soda machines and learning the virtues of drinking Calvert's Whiskey. What was the name of that whiskey? Sang along with the Chunky Gal and was the first to stay at the new hostel. Pretty righteous day.

Hiking with an old friend over the Roan Highlands to Traildays. Meeting Lone Wolf. Returning to Damascus with my daughter's family and introducing them to the Creeper. Man that was good!!!
