crixus Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm leaving on Friday to hike the Appalachian Trail with a couple of friends. It's nearly 2,200 miles long stretching from Georgia to Maine. We've planned this trip for a long time and are finally able to do it. So I wish everyone a great Memorial Day weekend and an awesome Summer ahead. *If you have any plans, please add your adventure (big or small) below. And if I don't get mauled by a bear, I'll be back on the board in time for football season. Have fun everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueStout Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Mauled by a bear? Aren't there just black bears back there? Just don't chase any cubs or wear a bacon suit and I imagine you'll be fine.cool trip. How long will this take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked up a hiker doing the PCT on the way back home so he could pick up a package at the Onyx P.O. Great guy, took him to Kern River Brewing (was on his "bucket list"), had lunch and dropped him off at a hotel. Have a lot of respect for those that do these hikes. Maybe someday for me...(once I am able to take a few months off from work) As far as my summer plans. Taking the wife down to the Keys next month for a couple of weeks.
