I envy you those long legs...

I've often heard the "five million steps" figure, and I swear,
by the time I finish it, it'll be double that.

I've done a few 20+ days, but not in the heart of the White
Mountains...  Smokies, Virginia, Maine.  But not between
Glencliff and Gorham; not on the AT, anyway.

After all, one has to earn the title of Terrapin.

Maybe if I'd used Lekis? <g>
