AS a matter of fact, yes...on occasion. 

Friday, on my way to S.W. Virginia with a 2000 thru-hiker friend (A.K.A. "Cowbell", I think) for the 4th of July weekend, to hang out and go caving with some friends, we availed ourselves of the opportunity to do a bit of hiking in Shenandoah N.P. Did a loop hike from the South River Falls (or so I believe 'twas) Picnic Area, crossed the A.T. to the actual South River Falls. (A nice 85' plunge, the uppermost part of which is quite splendidly viewable from an overlook along the South River Falls Trail) Continuing on, another trail eventually took us back to the A.T., along which we hiked back to where we'd crossed it earlier; actual A.T. mileage under a mile, I would guesstimate... 

And as if hiking along the A.T. in Shenandoah N.P. wasn't easy enough, on my way back from Virginia, I hiked from where Route 340 crosses the Potomac by bushwhacking down to the A.T./C & O Canal Towpath, then hiked from there into Harper's Ferry...

PS: Also ran into that thru-hiker called "Applejack" (mentioned by someone in a "Go Lite" post) in Shenandoah N.P.; we chatted a spell, and I gave him some of my special "Tropical trail mix", which I had just made the previous night.

Yes, I actually hike, though rarely on weekends these days. Since 
retiring I
can hike during the week. I like that because there are fewer people in 
the
woods. My wife likes that because I'm home to do things with her on the
week-end (she isn't retired). I live much too far from you to join you 
on a weekend hike anyway.
