Even though I've read it numerous times, I picked it up again tonight because 
I had to go to the laundrymat (my washer is broken still - gggrrrrrrr) and 
had no new books handy.

I'm in Rivendell right now - but the journey there - so many phrases and 
descriptions of their journey just rang bells all over the place, screaming 
"hiking", reminding me of hikes past.  (also reminded me that I'd do almost 
anything to meet a man like Strider ;))

Maybe it was a product of an event today - a minor event.  Toney takes Cassy 
camping for a week every year - they go camp right off the AT near the river, 
dayhike, roast smashmellows and stuff.  I dropped her off today, and as I was 
leaving, it started pouring down rain.  I didn't have my rain gear, of 
course.  In fact, I had nothing but cotten tshirt and cotton shorts ;)  Good 
thing it was a short walk.  So I had to trudge down the AT with the rain 
pouring down on me - and I started laughing.  It just felt so damn good to be 
walking down the Trail in the rain.  Sure, usually I have a semblence of gear 
on me in the rain on the AT.  But still - my whole uniquely crummy day washed 
away with the rain, and I smiled.

I don't know if everyone knows it - but apparently there are many parts of 
the AT that intersect with Middle Earth.  And when you get there, you'll know 
where.
