I remember trying to explain the appeal of the trail to non-hiking friends.
My day-to-day life is pretty demanding, so I put it this way: Being on the
trail is a luxury. It's a release. All I have to do is walk, eat, drink,
keep adequately warm, and sleep. No matter how challenging [hard, cold, wet,
hungry], the day has been, it's all better when I get to the shelter, stop
hiking, get warm, and eat. It's a treat at the end of every day.
