[at-l] MST vs. AT Sunday Sunday Sunday!

[hiker at tempestdream.com (Hoplite)]

Lungs and a map is right!  I hiked a 50 miler through there and its 
supposed to be the most difficult section (learned that AFTER.  D'oh!).  
I was wondering how that hike stacks against the harder sections of the 
AT. 

Also, I stumbled across an absolutely beautiful rattler along the MST 
there.   The gal I was hiking with nearly stepped on it before it 
rattled and alerted her.   I've never seen a human change vector and 
shoot into the air that fast in my life. She gave quite a shriek, too.  =)
