But, what is there to think about? What deep thoughts do you need, or 
want, that aren't there? Why can't you think about things while you're 
hiking? It's just walking. And, isn't what you're going to eat when you 
get to town the most important thing to you AT THAT TIME? So, why not 
think about it? this reminds me of something I wrote for a local 
newspaper at the end of my hike...it went something like this: "I hadn't 
found the answers to life's questions. I didn't know what the questions 
were."
