       And this, my friends is the ultimate reason that I want to hike long 
distances.  When people ask why, I try to find the words to say just 
this........but I have never found the way.  If you don't mind, Shane, I will 
steal yours....and quote you of course!  *G*
       My major goal for my thru hike is to be the kind of person that is not 
only AS comfortable out of doors as in, but actually MORE comfortable.  When 
you read stories of people that finish long hikes, go home, and find that 
they can't sleep in a bed..........they have to get up and sleep on the 
floor.......that kind of physical cross over is what I want to experience.  
Does that make any sense?  Anna
