    Default Worst/best pranks on the AT?

    Never thru hiked, but have sectioned Maine, New Hampshire and Mass.

    Worst. A man and wife had all of there clothes stolen while they were skinny dipping in Maine. They were left on the trail about 3 miles southbound.
    Me and my buddy brought the clothes back to them, we were norbound and put two and two together when we found them shivering by their packs.

    Best. Prank reversal. As many know, it is customary to moon the MT Washington Train tourists as they ride by on the cog train.
    The conductor pulled a pellet pistol and shot a guy in the arse with it. Heck of a good shot from a moving stance. Had to be there, but funny as all heck.

    Best prank is no prank.

    Now that is just taking it too far. Throwing lumps of coal at hikers is acceptable, but just because someone throws like a girl doesn't mean they can start shooting at us.

    The funniest one I heard was when Pirate was telling hikers in GA that they needed to sign up for their Katadin Summit permits. Several hikers actually thought he was serious and started calculating the exact day and time they would be making it to the top of Katadin.

    Moving all of the white blazes on the entire AT three miles to the west. It would really mess with the minds of folks who try to navigate using a GPS device.

    Yes. And one year someone put a roadkill groundhog in his pack at trail days. Jack slept with it a couple nights befor he figured it out. I've seen a picture of him washing his pack at the carwash.
    The trail is ever winding and the party moves every night.

    That's just mean, and potentially dangerous.

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I'm no scientist, but usually decomposing dead stuff has a lot bacteria and other pathogens in it. Something I would not want in my food. Which would most likely be in my pack. That's just me though, some might like to be potentially put off the trail due to projectile vomit and explosive diarrhea.

    To me, that's not a prank, that's just stupid.

    Your mileage may vary.
    I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.

    I think it requires a small % of the population to feel something is stupid for it to be truly funny. Lighten up Frances. Of course I'm not sure which is funnier. The roadkill in the pack or the fact that it took him 2 days to figure it out.

    The question is did JACK think it was funny.
