[at-l] OT -- "Survivor" / AT hiker's Bio

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

I'm 44, and on tender quads I was passing college kids out there last week.  
I think it has to do with whether or not one has done even limited training 
by putting on their pack weight and boots and walked around a bit before 
hitting Springer (or Katahdin).  Lots of nice, new shiny equipment out there 
and a lot of puzzled looks trying to set up stoves, etc.  Aw, to be young and 
...... again.
