Like most trails, there are two ends
Each opposite from where it begins
6 months in between
When you will seldom be seen,
But, stranded? I guess it depends. >>

Nice job Felix, but that is actually a limerick. An amazingly tame one, 
considering the form and the source, but a limerick none-the-less. Here is 
the definition of a haiku (looked up in Merriam-Websters):

<<First appeared 1902
 : an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing 
usu. 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively; also : a poem in this form usu. 
having a seasonal reference -- compare TANKA>>

So, I offer this for the list's edification:

Ain't got no Gore-Tex
Umbrella cell phone or gun
Just a thru-hiker

Um, I guess that would be a Hikeu.
