This has to be a young man thing. I mean, when we get into our 40's, do we 
still crave being apart of stuff the way we were in high school?

I doubt, as a middle aged women,  that I am gonna find all that much 
camaraderie on the trail. From other older ladies that have hiked, I have 
been told that I will take to these young guys like they were my kids. I 
never had any kids so I kinda doubt that. Men have this idea about reliving 
the past. I sure don't. I just want to hike.
