I did mention I did not have a credit card, right? You can do the trail anyway you like. From self contained (very difficult) to having an RV meet you are every road crossing. I did it as a trail bum. Actually a lot of trail bums were getting off the trail because they could not stand the Yuppies that were out there that year.
I have always found it very strange how people who have money look down on those who do not. They always say how hard they work for their money. Funny I never met a ditch digger who had money. Instead they tend to be like some of the folks on this list who spend 20 hours of their work week reading the list. Of course most folks have not been up and down the economic scale as many times as I have. It gives you a different perspective. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Christian wrote: > Kenneth Waller wrote: >> Last time I checked, the southern start for the Appalachian trail was >> Springer Mountain in Georgia. >> >> Kenneth Waller >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "graywolf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Subject: Re: GFM check list >> >> >>> Hey, Mark?
