I agree: We've been on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. It's a neat hike but to do it unarmed is to do it blissfully ignorant of reality. Do y'all remember the movie, "Deliverance"?

Had just been released from jail. Well know to people familiar with the trail.

I guess it takes a death before he is taken out of circulation.

I guess remember this when you go into the wilderness.
