Re[6]: [at-l] future AT hiker

[Bob C." <ellen@clinic.net (Bob C.)]

"...If  one of the goals of a hike is to keep an important job, why bother? Stay
at home and keep the job!" suggests OB.

I  suspect the lives of most of us are a series of compromises. Even those of us
who  yearn  for wildness, recognize that we also have families, responsibilities
and  futures  beyond  the trail. The wise, perhaps, try to balance this yearning
for  wildness,  with  the reality that lives are finite and spouses and kids and
society deserve consideration also.
